As posted earlier, PARIVAARCCH is the AP unit of PARIVAAR, a National Federation of Parent's Associations working for the Persons with Mental Retardation and other associated disabilities. It is actively working for the advocacy, training and rights of these groups and got international repute. I am associated with this unit as Technical Adviser and the whole team is moving with better reach to its targeted groups.
We had its meet on 14th at Prerana Special School, Hyderabad and revived the situation which includes the programmes to be done i due course of time. The main concern is in the area of Advocacy, self help groups, legal guardianship, support decision making, trainings, workshops, seminars, data base, networking, and other needy activities / programmes suiting to the needs of the targeted groups. There is a need to work with Right to Information (RTI) and Right to Education (RTE) for better mainstreaming in the normal schools itself.

This reflects the improvement made in the self advocates (persons with mental retardation) to be pat of the programmes meant for their better inclusion.
In addition, this service journey needs to be continued to improve the service delivery systems with right based approaches and to reach the unreached.
The team is looking forward to get the support from all the departments and stakeholders in creating better access for services, supports, benefits and other needs as a RIGHT.
I will be posting more about these activities on this blog for better sharing, reflection, support, networking and finally to be part of the developmental model as contributing member.
All the Best
