Imran Rehabilitation Centre (IRC) for Cerebral Palsy / intellectually Disabled challenged is one of its kind special center, for the brain injured physically and mentally disabled children. IRC has been working for the welfare of special children for more than sixteen years now.
My special child Adeel has completed nearly six years with Imran Rehabilitation Center. The IRC has regularly encouraged its special children in a variety of activities including Special Olympics. These activities have been a source of physical and mental exercise as well as an effective means of entertainment. On account of our professional responsibilities I seldom get a chance to take my kids for outing. I offer my sincere appreciate to IRC who enable my son go out to different events in the city. I wish to pay special tribute to the teachers and the entire supporting staff of IRC whose services provide us enough relief to accomplish our domestic and professional assignments.
Being associated to the profession of teaching, I can realize how challenging it is to make special children, particularly the mentally privileged ones, learn and Adeel Akram's father do better. IRC, I can confidently claim, is one of the highly devoted institutions in Karachi that makes all out efforts to improve and develop special children not only by teaching various learning techniques but also by providing them frequent opportunities of physical exercise which is very important for the growth of these blessed kids. My special gratitude to Mrs. Zarina Fazal for her disciplined and sound administration aimed at serving the cause of special children. She and her staff deserves great deal of admiration for the 2nd position In tableau by IRC kids in the recently held 5th Karachi Youth Festival 2018. IRC with a friendly and peaceful environment as well as spacious edifice is a great relief to all the parents who send their beloved special kids for training at this institution.Adeel Akram's Father

Muhammad Yasir am highly oblige and pleased to have this opportunity to express my views about this auspicious rehabilitation centre
Our relation with Imran Rehabilitation Centre has been established since 2009, when my brother Nazir was enrolled. IRC is one of those self-esteemed and dignified centres which have made its position in a very short span of time and within limited resources. The tremendous efforts of Mrs. Mansoor and Mrs. Zarina Fazal along with their trained and qualified staff. is remarkable. They had put a lot of effort in building up a sense of self-confidence in my brother and gradually stabilizer him as a vocational trainee.
My hearty wishes and true prayers are always with IRC administrator may Allah provides them with best resources to help more and more C.P Children.Brother of Nazir Naqvi
