Kerala or Keralam is a state located on the Malabar coast of south-west India.

Austim and other related : Children with special needs

As per Census 2011, in India, over 3 milllion persons are 'disabled' which is 2.21% of the total population..

Disabilities among children (0-6 years)

. The Census 2011 showed that, in India, 20,00,000 children aged 0-6 years are disabled. Thus, one in every 100 children in the age group 0-6 years suffered from some type of disability. 1.24% of the total children (0-6 years) are disabled. The percentage of male disabled• children to total male children is 1.29% and the corresponding figure for females is 1.19%. The proportion of disabled males to total males is higher than the corresponding• proportion for females at all India and at rural and urban areas. The same pattern has been observed in the case of children (0-6) years. The proportion of disabled to the total population for all ages is higher in rural areas• for both males and females, while for children, the same is higher in urban areas.

There are various special programmes run by government organisations and Non Governmental Organisations for children with special needs. . The disabled children continue to be neglected and marginalized with the burden of care on the family rather than on the community.

Cases of autism, a brain development disorder, are on the rise across the world. The incidence of autism has seen a great jump from seven in 100000 children in 1940s to 741 in 100000 now,

Autism numbers rise in India

Due to lack of basic equipment and improper diagnosis of autism, the disorder is growing in India which now has over 10 million cases. Experts say early detection of this incurable disease can help a child lead his full potential but many medical professionals are unable to detect the disorder.

India is home to about 10 million people with autism and the disability has shown an increase over the last few years. According to statistics by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in every 88 children today is born with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) against a ratio of one in 110 few years back.

In the global perspective, Centre for disease Control 2013, estimates that in every 50 school children diagnosed with ASD- there is an 1.16% increase. India's population of more than one billion, the second largest in the world is the home of 10 million people with autism and other disabilities, showing rapid increase over the last few years. . Hence this is an area that needs research, support and further action

Sensory integration Rooms:

In kerala very few schools have a sensory room. Even that is with insufficient equipment's . A room with facilities for Psychotherapy, Psychotherapy, Sensory Integration Therapy and Special Education or Individualized Education is a must for such schools. But we rarely see this in most schools in kerala state, india

Dr.B.N. Gangadhar,Director the Director of National Institute of Mental Health & Neuro Sciences ,Bangalore and Dr. Shekhar Seshadri, Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry of same institution agreed to provide all technical support and guidance !

The National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro-Sciences(NIMHANS; is a medical institution located in Bangalore, India. Established in 1925, NIMHANS, the apex centre for mental health and neuroscience education in the country, operates autonomously under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. Government of India
