About the Special Care Centre:
Save The Children India has been running a Special Care Centre since 1982 in the Drive-In theatre premise in Mumbai. The Centre currently caters to the rehabilitative and educational needs of 213 children who are either mentally challenged or hearing and speech impaired. This Centre which is recognised by the Govt of Maharashtra provides formal & non-formal education, pre-vocational training, health check-ups, counseling, mid-day meals, speech therapy and self-help skills for the special children, street children and adolescent girls from the nearby slums, as well as ensures integration with normal children.
As the Drive-in theatre is being demolished and converted into a commercial premise, Save The Children India has constructed the new Special Care Center, a 5-storey building with facilities such as vocational training centers, special classrooms, children's clinic, occupational therapy, library, documentation & research cell, counseling center etc.
