== Mission ==

It is an occasion of great joy and celebration when a child is born. But in some cases after few months of the birth, the family discovers that the child is not able to hold objects, crawl or walk. A spine chilling news is broken to the parents that the child has an incurable and irreversible condition called ‘Cerebral Palsy’ and may never be able to hold neck, walk or talk like a normal child next door. A sense of gloom dawns for a few days, at times, it lingers on for many years before the parents get adjusted to the thought of being mother and father of a spastic child. But, then, life is as such. One is to outgrow this sense of gloom.

On the positive side, in the journey of life, parents are blessed with a new companion who is to be taken care of. In case of cerebral palsy the period of care is prolonged and provides more psychological fulfillment to parents whereas bestowing of filial love on children is concerned. But, one feeling which one is unable to overcome as a parent to a spastic child is that what will happen to the child after death of the mother, the father or the caregiver, towards whom the child was always anxiously looking for all his daily care and emotional needs. This thought prompted us to take certain initiatives for short term and long term care of these children.<ref>[http://ssog.in/mission.html SSOG Mission]</ref>

History

Spastic Society of Gurgaon aims to address certain questions related to welfare of spastic children of Gurgaon, NCR and Haryana. People from various walks of life have joined hands to make efforts to arrange for long term care of such children; and also to help their parents live life fully, purposefully and contentedly by bringing them closer to each other, by creating coordination between various agencies, social workers, professionals and infra-structure providers. Efforts are also being initiated to make environment of Gurgaon, the millennium city of India, more spastic friendly.

Mission

It is an occasion of great joy and celebration when a child is born. But in some cases after few months of the birth, the family discovers that the child is not able to hold objects, crawl or walk. A spine chilling news is broken to the parents that the child has an incurable and irreversible condition called ‘Cerebral Palsy’ and may never be able to hold neck, walk or talk like a normal child next door. A sense of gloom dawns for a few days, at times, it lingers on for many years before the parents get adjusted to the thought of being mother and father of a spastic child. But, then, life is as such. One is to outgrow this sense of gloom.

On the positive side, in the journey of life, parents are blessed with a new companion who is to be taken care of. In case of cerebral palsy the period of care is prolonged and provides more psychological fulfillment to parents whereas bestowing of filial love on children is concerned. But, one feeling which one is unable to overcome as a parent to a spastic child is that what will happen to the child after death of the mother, the father or the caregiver, towards whom the child was always anxiously looking for all his daily care and emotional needs. This thought prompted us to take certain initiatives for short term and long term care of these children.[15]

Activities

Services being rendered by SSOG through two separate delivery channels are the Center for Special Children and the Center for Physiotherapy for Senior Citizens. All the services rendered at the Center for Special Children are free of cost. It was established to expedite provision of disability certificates and as a single-window service to assist disabled persons in obtaining benefits from the state and central governments.[1][8] SSOG has been appointed as NGO Member of Local Level Committee (LLC) Gurgaon by Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India.[16]
