Umang was started by Dr. Bhawana Kerkar in the year 2000 as a small step to help autistic children and slow learners to cope with their challenges. It was formally established as a trust in Dec-2002, to promote the cause of autistic and slow learner children and their families.
Umang promotes the cause of Autism and Slow Learners through its various programs and activities. It runs a school for special children called Umang Special School in Kandivali West.
Very broadly, Umang executes its mission through two programs:
1. Umang Special School: Owned and operated by Umang where it provides therapy and education to Autistic and Slow Learners.
2. BMC School: Since last 4 years Umang provides therapy and education free of cost to special children/slow learners at BMC school in Sodawala Lane, Borivali West.
In addition to the above Umang also provides IQ Testing and Counselling services on a small scale to labour and economicall/socially backward community through CSR initiatives of corporate organizations.
To provide therapy, education and support to Autistics and Slow Learners and their family and enable them to be integrated/rehabilitated with society in general.
Umang’s vision is to create an environment where special children (autistics and slow learners) can achieve their potential and be integrated into society.
