SPECIAL NEEDS SUPPORT HUBS
What began as an exploration of home schooling options has stretched to include parents of children being home schooled or attending special or mainstream schools. The idea is for parents living in nearby areas to connect and support each other.
Therapists, counsellors, teachers, etc. can be sourced and invited for consultations too. Academics can also be supported through these hubs. Parents will run the hubs, with EKansh organizing meetings and workshops as and when requested to. We have offers for hubs to be managed in Aundh and Kharadi.
More parents are requested to step forward. Hub activities can be held in different spaces in these areas depending on availability and convenience. Ekansh Trust is only a facilitator. The hubs are for, by and of Parents of children with disabilities.

EKansh Trust is proud to announce a short certificate course in collaboration with St. Mira’s College for Girls, Pune (autonomous -affiliated to Savitribai Phule Pune University) on Disability: Awareness and Inclusion.
This is a basic introductory course for those who are seeking or pursuing careers in management, social work, mass communication, administrative services, education, etc. This is firmly in keeping with our faith that awareness and sensitisation will lead to inclusion.
People with different disabilities and experienced colleagues will be part of the team. EKansh Trust also has the support of the very reputed Prof. Indira Parikh, ex IIM-A and FLAME university who is on our advisory board for the course.
EKansh Trust aims to [and has been approached by] other institutes also to run the course in collaboration with them.
Whenever the word ‘disability’ is mentioned, we also hear the words ‘help, charity, ignorance, apathy, discrimination, lack of ability, etc.’ . EKansh Trust has been working for over a decade to introduce the word EMPOWERMENT holistically in these conversations via early intervention advocacy, workshops on barrier free architecture, access audits, training and placement of candidates with disabilities through job fairs, etc., Indian Sign language workshops, sensitization sessions for all, inclusive education advocacy, etc. The first step is always awareness
“Anita Narayan, founder and managing trustee of EKansh Trust approached Dr. Jaya Rajagopalan, the head of Psychology department in St. Mira’s College, to run the course in collaboration with the college. Dr.Rajagopalan also believes that awareness is the key to inclusion and accessibility. She has offered her support to the course and is opening it to her students so they become more aware and learn how to deal with issues related to different disabilities.
With the gracious approval of the Principal, Dr. Gulshan Gidwani, who was pleased to launch it as part of the Centenary Year Celebrations of Spiritual Guru, Dada J P Vaswani, this course will begin on the 12th of July 2018.
EKansh Trust thanks the College and its Psychology department for supporting this initiative. “
