KPAMRC, was most probably the first Association to think in terms of organizing a training programme to train persons who could act as caregivers and work with families in their houses and relieve the parents to have some respite. The first programme was organized jointly with Spastics Society of Karnataka.

Today, this programme after refinement is being implemented by the National Trust for the Welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple Disabilities and Rehabilitation Council of India. The programme is of six months duration and any NGO registered with the National Trust and RCI is eligible to organize this programme. KPAMRC is one of the NGOs in the country selected to organized the National Trust programme.
