Today, we reach out to over 1500 children and young adults annually from across Sri Lanka, providing much needed services and facilities for early detection and intervention of disabilities. The Chitra Lane Children’s Resource Centre is well known as a centre of excellence for the entire island of Sri Lanka as well as neighbouring countries for training parents and educators with home- based and in-house programs.
