Founded on the values of empathy and inclusion, AMRITA was inspired by the vision of Late Smt. Sudha Gupta, who believed in creating a space where individuals with special needs are understood, respected, and empowered.
Established in 2009 under the leadership of Dr. Rashmi Kapoor, AMRITA began as a rehabilitation initiative and gradually evolved into a multidisciplinary institution offering lifelong support across developmental stages.
Today, AMRITA stands as a trusted centre where families find hope, professionals collaborate with purpose, and every individual’s potential is nurtured.
AMRITA Rehabilitation Centre offers comprehensive, child-centred rehabilitation services delivered by a multidisciplinary team of Rehabilitation Psychologists, Special Educators, Speech & Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and Physiotherapists.
Each individual receives a detailed assessment followed by individualised intervention planning, aligned with RCI guidelines and inclusive rehabilitation practices. Services include psychological and speech assessments, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, behaviour therapy, sensory integration, group and play therapy, movement therapy, counselling, special education support, music therapy, yoga, and vocational guidance.
AMRITA School is the primary education division of AMRITA Special School & Rehabilitation Centre, dedicated to providing a structured, safe and supportive environment where children with diverse developmental and learning needs receive education and life skill training. Our mission is to enable children to become independent as much as possible and to build awareness in society for inclusion.
At AMRITA, we have a comprehensive approach. An Individualised Education Plan (IEP) is made with child-specific goals that focus on functional academics linked to daily life. We run structured, goal-oriented sessions in small-group settings (1:6 max) guided by a dedicated special educator, where children learn through shared experiences, guided interaction and peer modelling. This strengthens emotional regulation, communication, independence and resilience. Students are grouped based on chronological age, D.Q, S.Q and functional level to ensure the right pace and support.
Progress is reviewed at regular intervals, and goals are updated accordingly. Parents are treated as active partners and are also invited for periodic classroom observation and review meetings

The branch ensures that children with developmental and learning needs receive timely, affordable, and effective intervention within their own community.
