Special Children School Karsaz

 

    

              

          

           INTRODUCTION:

          

         The Special Children School Karsaz was established in 1993 in a bungalow with the aim to provide education, training & rehabilitation to the physically/ mentally retarded and hearing impaired children. Subsequently, two more adjacent bungalows were annexed to it in 1999 to accommodate special children of the civilian employees of Pakistan Navy as well as general civilians. Owing to the increasing number of special children and lack of appropriate academic-cum-therapeutic facilities, the need was felt to establish a proper Special Children School with requisite infrastructure and facilities. Thus a full-fledged Special Children School with state of the art facilities was constructed in 2005 at the present site.
