Public Speaking & Training

Public education is vital to creating greater awareness of the challenges individuals with special needs face. It helps to open people’s minds and dispel myths.

As part of our ongoing commitment towards public education, we aim to create an awareness of the different conditions, and the various approaches available that can help families, professionals and therapists alike better understand children with special needs.

Apart from conducting seminars and workshops we also provide training for educators, teaching aides, etc.
