Tamana was born out of the living faith and optimism of Dr. Shayama Chona, the mother of a child born with cerebral palsy. Dr. Chona’s struggle during her daughter’s treatment abroad inspired her to set up rehabilitative services for disabled in India. Tamana NGO was started in 1984 with 4 children in a small shed to becoming one of the most dedicated special schools in India. The services are provided to mentally challenged and autistic. The first centre Tamana Special Education Centre, was inaugurated by HRH Princess of Wales, Late Lady Diana, on February 12, 1992. Two other centres were set up: Nai Disha- Skill Development Centre (in 1998), Tamana Autism Centre- School of Hope (in 2003). Over the years, following units have been added - Early Intervention, Residential Facility, Teaching Training Cell, NIOS, Research and Technology Lab.
Tamana was created solely for the purpose of providing the best professional help to children and adults with developmental and multiple disabilities and autism; providing a holistic developmental education to children with special needs, to effect optimum adult rehabilitation. To enable the special needs individual to become a happy, useful and integrated member of society by realising his /her full potential.
