Special Education Services
Our Special education services are designed to support children and adolescents with disabilities or special needs, ensuring they have access to an appropriate management that addresses their individual learning requirements. These services are typically provided in public schools, and online access to these services is very limited so keeping these in mind we have started online parent mediated therapies for children with special needs. So, the people who do not have accessibility to a special school or who cannot send their kids to a special Institute they can get an expert guidance at the comfort of their home and can work on their child.
