Given that we cater to the entire spectrum of ID ranging from mild, moderate, severe to profound, our curriculum is designed to cover all these categories. For children with mild to moderate ID, the focus is more on functional academics whereas for children with severe to profound grade of ID, the focus is more on activities of daily living. Apart from functional academics, our students also learn dance, music, sports, yoga and gardening. We have 350 children in the age group of 5-18 years at our school in Sewri.
