The goal of Prabhat’s CBR is to create enabling environments and capacities within the communities and homes to support and encourage those children with special needs and their families who cannot access Prabhat Centres due to barriers of mobility, distance or awareness. This programme is the outcome of field observations, home visits and discussions with other experienced institutions and activists. CBR is directed toward generating the awareness, knowledge and capacity within homes and neighborhoods that can mobilize them to support and nurture children with special needs. The Home-based Programme within CBR provides support through training and learning opportunities organized in and through the neighborhood. Surveys generate base-level data to identify priority needs.
Prabhat’s team pays regular visits to identified areas to help build and facilitate a supportive environment for the child and her family. The CBR Programme also reaches out to those who cannot come to the Centre’s because of mobility constraints or distance. Towards this end, Prabhat strives to recruit team members from the community, or those familiar with the communities it serves.
