Our Approach

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.

Therapy support (Speech, Occupational, Physiotherapy, Behaviour and Psychological support) is integrated as per requirement.
