SPECIAL EDUCATOR TRAINING

In the year 1978 a few parents of persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities [PwIDDs] residing in Bangalore came together to form an Association to ensure together that their wards are provided with basic needs and also received the required training and other facilities and be part of the mainstream of life. Just KPAMRC was registered under the Societies Act on May 26, 1979.

The Association has come a long way over these 44 years and is responsible to create adequate manpower to provide necessary training for their wards and also assist the parents and relatives on a continuous basis by way of counselling and guidance.

KPAMRC soon realized that there was urgent need for special educators to educate and train the children to enable them to lead an independent life. KPAMRC pioneered the Teacher Training Programme when no one in the country was even thinking about it.

Courses in Mental Retardation were started in the 70s, Learning Disabilities in the 80s and autism in the 90s. Over 5000 special educators are working in different special schools and institutions all over the country. It is a singular contribution of KPAMRC towards Manpower development in the field of mental retardation and other developmental disabilities.
