In 2025, the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) is placing special focus on promoting family-based care for children with special needs (Divyaang children). In collaboration with MyGov, CARA invites all Indian citizens to participate in an important national discussion on the theme:
“Non-institutionalized Rehabilitation of Children with Special Needs (Divyaang Children)”

This initiative seeks to create a collaborative platform where citizens can:
1. Share insights on the challenges and barriers in the identification and adoption of children with special needs
2. Suggest innovative ideas, strategies, or solutions to strengthen the adoption ecosystem
3. Contribute to policy-making by offering actionable recommendations to ensure a loving family environment for every child, especially those currently residing in Specialized Adoption Agencies (SAAs) and Child Care Institutions (CCIs)

Your thoughtful suggestions can play a key role in shaping a more inclusive, compassionate, and efficient adoption framework for Divyaang children.

Who can participate?
All Indian citizens are welcome to join the conversation and submit their ideas.

Why participate?
Selected entries may be featured in national-level publications, exhibitions, and even considered in policy discussions aimed at improving the lives of children with special needs.

Let’s work together to ensure every child finds a loving family and a brighter future. Join the discussion today and be a voice for change!

The rehabilitation of Divyang children has long been associated with institutional care—special homes, dedicated centers, and residential facilities where children receive therapy and support. While these institutions play an important role, the world is gradually adopting a broader, more inclusive, and more human-centered approach known as non-institutionalised rehabilitation. This model encourages empowering Divyang children within their families, communities, and natural social environments instead of separating them from them. It focuses on creating a society where disability is not seen as a limitation but as a diversity that must be supported with compassion, accessibility, and equal opportunities.

It’s very difficult to do work with Divyaang children especially in case of intellectual disability. As we cannot understand what they want, what is their requirement? Some disability may be curable but most of them are lifelong and in such case it will become life journey. We have to make this journey comfortable to both parent and child as well as to society. Because both parent and child are the part of society and they have to live in society. So if we really want do any concrete work we have to think on three factors 1. Divyanng child 2. Parents 3. Society

Ideas for a non-institutionalized rehabilitation center include mobile therapy vans, home-based support, and community integration programs. Key strategies are empowering families through training and support groups, leveraging technology like tele-rehabilitation and low-cost assistive devices, and focusing on skill-based training for independence and employability. Community-based services Mobile therapy units: Use mobile vans equipped with therapists to bring services directly to villages or homes, providing on-the-spot therapy, device fitting, and parent training. Local accessibility improvements: Modify homes and community spaces with ramps and safety features, and create low-cost, locally made mobility aids. Community programs: Establish sports, arts, and cultural programs in local community centers to ensure social participation. Family and caregiver empowerment Parent training: Provide training on specific therapy techniques and how to support their child's needs at home. Supp

Families are the first and most important support system. Early identification and intervention: Parents play a major role in observing developmental delays and seeking early help. Consistent home-based therapy: Many daily activities—playing, speaking, walking, self-care—can be improved through exercises done at home with guidance from professionals. Emotional and social support: A child feels secure, accepted, and confident when the family is supportive. Awareness and empowerment: Training programs for parents help them understand disability, learn basic therapies, and manage behavioural issues. Avoiding institutional dependency: Children can grow in a familiar environment rather than being separated from family.

This is an excellent initiative by CARA and MyGov. To make non-institutionalised rehabilitation truly effective for Divyaang children, we must focus on strengthening community-based support systems. One practical approach is to create local family-mentoring networks, where trained volunteer families can regularly interact with prospective adoptive or foster families to guide them in understanding specific needs, therapies, and behavioural support. Additionally, integrating mobile multi-disciplinary support teams—including special educators, therapists, and counsellors—can help families in remote areas receive timely assistance without depending on institutions. There is also a need for digital tracking and early-intervention plans for each child, ensuring their physical, emotional, and educational progress is continuously monitored after placement. Such combined efforts can bridge the gap between intention and implementation, enabling Divyaang children to grow in nurturing, stable.

Non-institutional rehabilitation can give Divyaang children a life filled with love, dignity, and inclusion. By supporting families with training, community therapies, accessible education, and home-based care, children can grow in familiar, comforting environments. Empowering parents, creating supportive neighbourhoods, and providing assistive tools can help every child feel valued, confident, and capable of living their dreams.
