SOREM (Society for Rehabilitation of the Mentally Challenged)

SOREM was founded in 1986 by Promila Chandra Mohan, a former national-level athlete and mathematics teacher who chose a prime residential plot in Sector 36-C, Chandigarh so that children with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy and other developmental challenges would remain a visible, accepted part of the community. Its special school offers core learning, therapies, NIOS schooling, a sheltered workshop, vocational and independence training, sports and a labyrinth walk, standing by families at every step.

SOREM (Society for Rehabilitation of the Mentally Challenged) reports the following, on its own site:

• 1,000+ families guided with care across North India
• 99% of parents report improved confidence and life skills in their children
