About Us

Aman Foundation Kolhapur

Aman Foundation Kolhapur supports the rights of persons with autism to fully participate in society. We help children on the autism spectrum to overcome the odds with the efforts of their parents, teachers and guidance from experts. We empower persons with autism and developmental disabilities, and their families.

Aman Foundation Kolhapur is a registered NGO working for autism and related developmental disabilities. Our story behind the establishment of Aman Foundation is very inspiring, emotional, and close to our hearts. Deepa Suresh Shipurkar’s son Aman Shipurkar is an autistic patient who went through the unfortunate consequences of irregular medical facilities and even the unavailability of reliable treatments due to a major lack of

awareness, especially when he was diagnosed with this neurological and developmental disorder, the Kolhapur district was totally ignorant about the symptoms and its existence. To overcome the shortcomings, she took the initiative to gather knowledge from renowned psychiatrists. And so, it inspired us and countless parents to initially begin awareness programs related to autism through a women’s WhatsApp group where they shared their concerns about their autistic child and, within Mrs. Sureshkar’s capabilities, she tried to help them out, and was successful in breaking the baseless rumors surrounding the issue.

There are hundreds of thousands of children on the autism spectrum who have been trying to overcome the odds with efforts given by their parents, teachers and guides. To help them, CARE i.e. Centre of Autism Resourceful Education has been started to provide comprehensive treatment to autistic children under one umbrella for holistic development.

For them our foundation is the place where they can get all types of support on autism. Facilities offered at Care Development Centre are: behaviour therapy, activities of daily living, language or speech therapy, music therapy, occupational therapy and physiotherapy. We take care of children right from their budding age till they are fine and ready to step out.
