| Principles and Background |
'Inspiration' believes that every human being should be viewed from a humanitarian angle, having the right to live a life of dignity, in the least restrictive environment, with a right to make his/her own choices and participate actively in decision making.
‘Inspiration’ aims at upliftment of the poor & oppressed, the destitute and the neglected and those who have been gravely psychologically affected by the tensions of modern life. Their rehabilitation and bringing them back to mainstream of life is our target.
We aim to educate parents and families of the disabled in providing an encouraging, nurturing environment for the disabled children, their brothers and sisters.
For this we have done a number of programmes to create awareness among the public, on the causes of developmental disability and possible preventive measures, thus undermining superstitions and a mis-guided religious mindset, and to consequently building a scientific outlook on the problem.
Focusing on undesirable attitude and rejection of the disabled, is part of our advocacy work.
