Impact | Learning new skills and experiencing success has greatly enhanced every child's self-esteem and confidence. The special education, especially tailored to individual needs, through the Individual Education Plan, has brought significant achievement for the students. These include essential skills like communication, problem-solving, and task management. It also includes teaching safety and security of self, how to reach out for help, how to speak up for one's needs and desires. Providing opportunities in an inclusive environment, with regular youngsters from schools, colleges, work has improved social skills and learning socially acceptable behaviour. Every child has been impacted positively in all the areas above, to varying extents, depending on their abilities. | ||||||
