- Yashaswini Swavalambana Trust (YST) has successfully launched several vocational training programs for differently-abled students.
At School
At the Foundation for Action, Motivation and Empowerment, India (FAME India) we work towards the rehabilitation and empowerment of children and young adults with neuro-muscular and intellectual development disabilities, such as cerebral palsy, Down's syndrome, mental retardation and muscular dystrophy.
We believe that the opportunities and resources to empower special children are not only available within our community, but that it is also our responsibility as citizens to provide them. We have found that empowering differently-abled children brings about a positive influence in the community. We work towards integrating special children in to so-called mainstream society, harnessing their potential, and encouraging them to be independent.
We focus on holistic education by way of special education, early intervention, pre-vocational and vocational training; and therapy services such as diagnostic assessments, physical and psychological therapies and behavioural modification. Through our work, we strive to enable our children and young adults to live a life of dignity, and self-reliance.
