At Manovikas Special School for Mentally Disabled Children, education is at the heart of our mission. We believe that every child—regardless of their intellectual or developmental challenges—has the right to learn, grow, and succeed. Our educational programs are designed not just to teach, but to empower each child to reach their full potential in a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment.
As a nonprofit institution committed to social good, we provide quality, individualized education that respects the unique learning needs of each student. We are proud to be one of the few dedicated centers in Kerala offering comprehensive educational support for children with mental disabilities.
Why Education Matters
Education is the foundation of personal development and a key to independence. For children with special needs, it also helps them:
- Develop communication and social skills
- Gain functional literacy and numeracy
- Improve motor coordination and cognitive development
- Learn basic life skills
- Boost self-esteem and emotional resilience
Our goal is not just academic success, but to prepare every child for a meaningful and dignified life within their family and society.
Dedicated Teaching Faculty
The strength of our education system lies in our compassionate, trained, and highly skilled educators. Each member of our teaching team is specially qualified in special education and equipped with the patience, creativity, and understanding required to work with children with varying degrees of intellectual disabilities.
Our teachers focus on:
- Developing Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) for each student
- Using multi-sensory and interactive methods of teaching
- Incorporating play, music, art, and therapy into lessons
- Providing one-on-one or small group instruction
- Continuously assessing progress and adjusting methods accordingly
Our staff is not just academically qualified but emotionally committed to the holistic development of every child.
Custom Curriculum & Activities
At Manovikas, we follow a functional and activity-based curriculum designed specifically for children with mental disabilities. It includes:
- Basic literacy and numeracy
- Life skills education (dressing, grooming, hygiene, etc.)
- Communication and language development
- Physical education and motor skill development
- Vocational training and pre-vocational skills
- Creative arts, music, and dance
- Moral and emotional development
The curriculum is flexible and adaptive, keeping in mind each child’s pace of learning, strengths, and challenges.
Therapy-Integrated Learning
We recognize that learning for children with intellectual disabilities often requires more than just traditional methods. That’s why our education program is integrated with essential therapies:
- Speech therapy
- Occupational therapy
- Behavioral therapy
- Physiotherapy
These support services help children overcome barriers to learning and participate more confidently in classroom activities.
Inclusive & Supportive Environment
Manovikas is more than a school—it’s a community where every child is accepted, respected, and encouraged. We work closely with families to understand the unique needs of each child and offer guidance to parents on how they can support learning at home. Regular parent-teacher interactions, progress reports, and counseling sessions ensure a strong support system for every student.
Empowering a Brighter Future
Through our educational program, we aim to:
- Foster independence and self-reliance
- Prepare students for vocational training or sheltered employment
- Help them integrate better into mainstream society
- Encourage lifelong learning and adaptability
By equipping students with the knowledge and skills they need to lead meaningful lives, we reduce dependency and help them become contributors to society.
Education With Heart
Every child is capable of learning—what they need is the right approach, the right environment, and the right people guiding them. At Manovikas, we provide all three. Through our focused, empathetic, and innovative educational system, we are lighting the path toward a brighter and more inclusive future.

Campaigns for fund
Our Causes .
FUNDRAISING
Every charity exists to raise money for its cause through fundraising, but there is more to charity work than going door to door rattling a tin! Fundraisers, or trust fundraisers, often need to apply for funding from large organisations by putting together funding proposals.
VOLUNTEER MANAGEMENT
Volunteer managers are typically responsible for recruiting and conducting interviews.
CHARITY AND SOCIAL WELFARE
Many nonprofit groups exist to serve the public good, including providing healthcare, counseling, and shelter. These organizations are tax-exempt due to the relief and assistance they offer, which in turn helps reduce government spending. We are proud to be one of them.
