In its long journey of accomplishments, HOPE Early Intervention Centre stands as a unique intervention under Bairooha to offer multi-disciplinary diagnosis and therapy services for children with development delays/disorders and their families. Findings from the detailed studies conducted by Bairooha for a year through formal channels such PHC and anganwadi workers has exposed the inevitability of such early centre in our locality. The interviews conducted with medical professionals, social workers, and people with special needs and their care takers pointed out the need for systematic intervention to address the vulnerabilities of disability. Absence of any advanced interdisciplinary therapy centre under government as well as the unaffordability of therapy services for poor people made Bairooha to pitch in and start a centre with very limited capacity.
