The Rapid Neurodevelopmental Assessment (RNDA) is a set of unique tools developed by a team of dedicated researchers over several years. The team includes child health physicians, developmental pediatricians, child neurologists, neuro-epidemiologists, child psychologists, special education teachers, and developmental therapists. The RNDA aimed to simplify the multi-professional team (MPT) assessment so that single professionals, such as primary school teachers, can conduct the assessment. The RNDA is an essential tool that has made it possible for single professionals to conduct assessments that would have otherwise required a team of professionals.

The oldest training package offered by RBF, this three-month training is best suited to in-service teachers. Introduced in the year 1998, the Child-Centered Level One Teacher Education Program has been one of Rato Bangala Foundation’s primary teacher education programs since its establishment.
