At the Latika Resource Center, our aim is to reach out to the world with our message, plans and strategies to achieve our vision of a better world for disabled children.
Every person should know their rights. We educate the public about their rights through community outreach, investigate complaints and contribute to the drafting of new acts and disability policies.
Our ongoing work includes research on various acts and laws relating to disabled people, their implementation and enforcement. Understanding disability laws and rights ensures that trained individuals can work within legal frameworks and advocate for compliance.
We enable disabled people access government-provided services and entitlements such as Disability Certificates, UDID cards, legal guardianship and more.
We train doctors, nurses, anganwadi workers, ASHA workers, teachers, medical and paramedical staff on early identification and intervention strategies, ensuring disabled people receive the necessary support as soon as possible.
Our awareness and sensitization workshops with young people help inform, educate, and inspire thoughtful behavior change that’s pertinent to their lives and the society they live in.
Our work has been featured in Indian and international media and our founder Jo’s much-loved blog has readers from around the world. Additionally, our resource center has created toolkits and manuals that are still widely used. With regular updates on our social media channels, we keep our stakeholders informed about the latest happenings at Latika.
