As a part of making individuals with intellectual disability (IID) an able part of society, Spandan School for Mentally Challenged was incorporated in 1975 by The Banyan City Jaycees Education Trust. What started as a small institution with 12 children has now grown, in 48 years, into an integrated facility covering the needs of approximately 200 individuals with Cerebral Palsy, Downs Syndrome, Autism, Intellectual Disability and many more. The aim is to provide an education system combined with various therapies such as speech & communication, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and sensory integration therapy to all individuals that are enrolled within the institution from time to time. Spandan also strives to makes adult individuals groomed and self-reliant to be able to find jobs and earn a livelihood in local industrial settings.

BSI and Spandan's collective aim is to grow and maintain the institution, to continue to make a difference in the life of every child and adult with intellectual disability
