We Serve
What do we mean by Neurodivergent children or children with special needs or differently abled children? These are children who have special educational requirements due to their disability like learning difficulties, physical disability, or emotional and behavioral difficulties.
Stark numbers: 2.2% of Indian population has special needs, this includes adults and children too. As far as children with special needs below 19 year age are concerned, there are 4.6 million of them in India. And these are definitely on lower side as many are not brought to notice due to various issues like misconceptions, societal fears or non-availability of diagnosis.
According to the India Census 2011, only about 2/3rd of such children attend schools, when in fact they are no less deserving of an education than any other. With the proper resources, institutes and teachers, a child with special needs can also learn well and be in mainstream.
The dropout rates for such children is even more alarming. While 90% of children with special needs attend primary school, their number drops to about 10% in secondary school and only 2.3% reach higher secondary schools. Another major issue which needs to be addressed is segregation from mainstream schools and social activities of normal children.
We strive hard to overcome all the problems associated with such children.
