Along with services for special children, Inspiration has been working with children in regular schools with minor difficulties. Awareness programmes have always been the special thrust area, and one such programme was held on the 17th of March'06 at Welham Boys' School, Dalanwala. Another programme was held in May at Rotary Club, Dehra Dun. These have helped to increase the awareness about intellectual disabilities, especially autism, of which very little is known, at present.
