Sneha Society for Rural Reconstruction has started Special School for the Mentally Retarded in the year 1995. Before initiation of the special school the organization has conducted survey in the Nizamabad District and noticed there are more people i.e. children and adults with mental retardation. The rural India has 6% of disabled people where the prevalence of Orthopaedically Handicapped, Visually Handicapped and Hearing-impaired ness is lowering down and there is visible growth of mental retardation, Autism and Cerebral Palsy patients in India. It may sound typical but the poverty malnutrition, conjugal marriages, drug addiction and low health awareness and many other factors are caused to mental retardation.
The organization is providing Special Education to the Mentally Retarded children in the age group of 5 to 17 years. The classification of children is done according to the chronological age, mental age and their functional abilities. The SNESOR is having classes Pre-Primary to Pre-Vocational. Total 170 children with Mental Retardation are being given Special education in this Special School for the Mental Retarded.
