Child Rehabilitation Centre, an organisation run by doctors in Thane, has started a unique programme for autistic children. These kids have come all the way from villages in Ratnagiri, Satara, Nashik, and also some regions in Gujarat. As part of the summer programme, the kids, who are mostly deprived of proper training back home, will participate in interesting activities here.

One of the organisers of the programme, Dr Sumit Shinde, said, "Child Rehabilitation Centre has several branches in Navi Mumbai, Kharghar, Sion and Nerul, which are equipped with the required facilities to conduct therapies such as occupational therapy, sensory integration therapy and cognitive behaviour therapy. We mostly work with kids who show behavioural problems and issues in academic development."
