Shailesh did a site visit report regarding this project which catered to Active Daily Living (ADL), Gross Motor Skills, Socializing Skills and Non-Verbal Communications of developmentally challenged children. The presentation was regarding Kempapura Agrahara and Harohalli – Vidya Project. The former is an Appropriate Learning Project. There are infrastructural challenges like space and facilities, but on the whole it is a well-managed facility.
