AMRITA, a dedicated school for special children, serves the diverse needs of children with disabilities, ranging from ages 3 to 14, from all sections of society. Our mission is to provide a nurturing and supportive environment where each child can thrive, focusing on their overall development based on their unique needs and potential.
Holistic Development Programs:
At AMRITA, we emphasize a comprehensive approach to education. Our curriculum integrates functional academics with necessary allied therapies tailored to each child's requirements. After a thorough assessment by our multidisciplinary team-which includes a Rehabilitation Psychologist, Special Educator, Physiotherapist, Speech Therapist, and Occupational Therapist-students are grouped according to their chronological age, mental age, and functional level.
Each group consists of 8-10 students, guided by a dedicated special educator, an assistant teacher, or a volunteer. We create an Individualized Education Program (IEP) for each child, crafted by our multidisciplinary team and in close collaboration with parents. Every three months, we assess each child's progress and set new short-term goals for the next quarter, ensuring continuous and personalized development.
