Education’, is often connected to the education imparted at schools, colleges and so on. We often limit it to academics: learning to read, write, do math, the sciences and a number of other theoretical subjects. However, when we use the word ‘education’ in connection with special needs, we need to broaden our definition and look at it as more holistic and complete learning, one that aims at maximizing the potential of an individual over a life span.

The focus of the teaching is multi-dimensional and encompasses all important skill areas like communication, social understanding, play and leisure, self-care routines amongst others.

Early Intervention School Readiness Programme
Early intervention programme for children with special needs is for children on the spectrum conditions up to seven years. The programme is child centric, play based and family focused. The primary aim of the programme is to help the child ‘learn to learn’ by working on various school readiness skills and prepare the child for a successful inclusion in the mainstream classroom.
The Parent Child Training Program
A group of parents train together (with their children) throughout the duration of the programme under the guidance of experienced, trained therapists. The focus of the programme is to maximize the quality of time that the parent spends with the child by teaching focused one-on-one skills that are tailored individually to each child and that take into account the child's strengths, emerging skills and weakest skill areas. One-on-one intervention, in a supportive, positive environment, helps a child with special needs to overcome much of the severity of the disorder.
Individualized Educational Intervention
In the Individualized Educational Programme, a special educator works one-on-one with the child, on a regular on-going basis The sessions are to provide holistic inputs and teach a variety of skills depending on the current needs of the child. The skills taught would include communication, aspects of social and play skills, cognitive and academic skills, prevocational and vocational skills. Ample time is spent on the child bonding and building a connection with the special educator to ensure that the learning process is an enjoyable experience for the child.
