World Health Organisaton and other international bodies recognized the pioneering effort made by the Society.

As incidence of poliomyletis decreased, SRCC started offering all services to children afflicted by other conditions like Cerebral Palsy. The rehabilitation facilities then became important, and the Department established care with physiotherapy, occupational therapy speech therapy and education therapy.

The education therapy was further extended to children with learning problems. Children who had an high IQ, but were unable to take the stresses of formal education because of dyslexia, epilepsy, attention deficiency syndrome, and other disabilities were guided to take the Xth and XIIth standard board examinations of the National Institute of Open Schooling, New Delhi. Children are also given the opportunity to acquire new vocational skills.
