Our Programs
At Tamahar, we’ve crafted a unique pedagogy tailored specifically for Indian conditions, yet infused with global techniques and scientific insights. Our mission is to support children with developmental disabilities through an extensive range of programs thoughtfully designed to meet their diverse needs. Our approach is to help each child reach key developmental milestones and lay a strong foundation for their future-not just academically but in their personal and social lives as well. We offer comprehensive mental health services, along with training in therapy, and skill development for their families as well.
Children Program
Our Children’s programs include Early Intervention, Nursery, Functional Academics, Prevocational Training and Sheltered Workshop, Auxiliary Therapy and Recreation Programs.
Family Services
Caregiving is a 24/7 job, especially when you have a child with special needs, and mostly it is without any respite care. This is enough to wear down the strongest of individuals. We have various family services to empower parents to develop their sense of self-worth, self-esteem, and personal fulfillment, which can have a positive ripple effect on the entire family. We encourage parents to pursue education, engage in skill development, and train them in entrepreneurship and product development. At Tamahar, we believe supporting parents of children with special needs is crucial for improving family dynamics and overall well-being. Tamahar trains parents to become primary therapists for their children.
HR Development
The ratio of professionals available to children requiring services is concerning, with the number of special education teachers significantly falling short of the demand. Tamahar focuses on building Human Resources by conducting training programs to increase the available interventionists at ground level.

Hear from our Supporters & Beneficiaries
 The distinctive feature of Tamahar is its commitment to the cause, which focuses more on empowering the parents of special needs children through skilling and building their competency. Tamahar has dedicated staff who are fascinated by the work and tirelessly work. The parents work with the teachers and learn the necessary skills to help the growth of their children and other children. Perhaps this kind of work is very rare in our country. Mr. V S Basavaraju | Former state commissioner, RPWD Act|Government of Karnataka. | Founder Secretary Disability NGOS Alliance – DNA |
 Tamahar Trust is one of the rarest trusts I have witnessed that gives need-based service to people with disabilities, especially people with multiple disabilities. These kinds of institutions are very few in India, in Bangalore and not everybody gives so many comprehensive services for children with multiple disabilities. I’m extremely happy with the way they are providing services, and I wish them good luck. Dr. Anand | Functional Vision Specialist |
 Child Name : Sri Vishnu ; Joined on 08/09/2011 We have recently moved to Berlin, Germany, with our family. We met the authorities for Vishnu’s school with special needs. The reports from Tamahar were instrumental in helping them to understand Vishnu’s needs. The efforts of the Tamahar staff, Vaishali Mam, and the management have made a significant impact. The German authorities were amazed and impressed by the detailed report given by Tamahar. Tamahar has transcended geographical boundaries and continues to make a difference in Vishnu’s educational journey. Father – Mr. M.Vijay Ganesh | Mother – Sowmya |
 Child name – Chiruvinayak Every special child’s mother is resourceful. They can take care of their children, but Tamahar has made it even more easier and creative. Tamahar has also helped us to overcome our mental issues, reduce issues in the family and reduce our anxiety. I have not seen such an environment in any other institution. They treat everyone with respect and welcome us with a happy face. Mrs. Kavitha | Parent Testimony |
