The team pioneered sexuality and personal safety education for children and adolescents with disabilities in India. We created the Suvidha Suraksha kit – one of its kind, an interactive, easy-to-use visual teaching-learning tool for children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities and Autism, and a Suvidha Sparsh kit for those with visual or auditory impairments. We have reached over 3000 parents, teachers, and trainers in over 50 schools and organizations across India through direct training, workshops, and online sessions. The adults have been empowered to support children with disabilities in learning the basics of sexuality, reproductive health, and personal safety as part of their life skills education.
