About
Intellectual and developmental disability symbolizes a significantly reduced ability to comprehend new or complex information, learn new skills or cope autonomously. Supporting and enabling children and adults with intellectual disabilities is a key focus at Manovikas. We aim to empower people and develop opportunities to enable their participation in the community as equal citizens.
Dignity and independence are key themes here at Manovikas in the Caregiving Service “Sahyogi”. All of our caregivers “Sahyogi” are responsive to the possible risk factors for the Careseekars being aware of the multiplicity of physical and other challenges that may accompany intellectual disability. We understand that issues such as mobility, activity of daily living (ADL), dental health, sensory impairment, nutrition, osteoporosis and exercise are all extremely important factors to people with an intellectual disability.
Manovikas’s Caregiving Services and Caregivers Training programmes are supported by the National Trust for the Welfare of People with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple Disabilities, and Certificate Course is recognised by the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI), under Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India
Manovikas Institute for Higher Education (MIHE) is a Caregiver Cells (CGCs) of the National Trust since year 2002 when under the National Trust Act, the Caregiver training program was launched by Manovikas as a pilot project and recognized by Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) and now this course is conducted at various places in the country.
