Workshops & Observation

Workshops designed for teachers, parents, and caregivers working with children with special needs and neurodevelopmental conditions. The program focuses on building understanding, practical skills, and confidence to support children in everyday settings with sensitivity and care.

The workshops address areas such as toilet training, activities of daily living (ADLs), personal care, sexual hygiene, caregiver burnout, and awareness of autism, other neuro-cognitive disorders, and syndromes. The aim is to help adults respond to children’s needs in a structured, respectful, and developmentally appropriate manner.

A) Awareness Workshops
These interactive sessions are designed to build basic understanding of autism and other neurodevelopmental conditions. Participants learn to recognize early signs, understand child behaviour, and gain simple, practical strategies that can be used at home, school, or care settings.

B) Skill Training & Individualized Guidance
This structured program involves observation and guidance by trained professionals, including RCI-certified professionals. Participants receive hands-on skill training and individualized support plans tailored to the child’s needs, daily routines, and learning environment, ensuring continuity of care beyond the program.

Our Observation Program offers high school students a guided and age-appropriate introduction to the field of rehabilitation and mental health. The program aims to build awareness, empathy, and foundational interpersonal skills.

• Awareness Sessions
  Introduction to disabilities, inclusion, mental health, and emotional wellbeing
• Interactive Learning
  Group discussions, activities, and interactions with rehabilitation professionals
• Observation-Based Exposure
  Understanding how therapy centres function through supervised observation
• Creative & Community Engagement
  Participation in art-based, awareness, and outreach activities

Parent Training

Parent training at Amrita is a structured process designed to empower caregivers with the skills and confidence needed to support a patient's recovery at home. It shifts the caregiver's role from a passive observer to an active member of the rehabilitation team, ensuring that therapy techniques are reinforced consistently beyond the clinical setting.

• Skill Acquisition: Teaching parents specific therapeutic techniques, such as physiotherapy exercises, speech therapy tasks, or behavioral management strategies.
• Consistency of Care: Helping parents maintain a therapeutic routine at home so the child can generalize skills learned in the centre to real-world environments.
• Reducing Caregiver Burden: Addressing the emotional and physical stress of caregiving by providing counselling and coping strategies.
• Independence: Training parents to foster the child's activities of daily living (ADL) to increase their self-reliance.

Rehabilitation centres typically use a mix of theoretical and hands-on approaches:

• Instruction & Modeling: Clinicians explain a technique and then demonstrate it with the child.
• Behavior Skills Training (BST): A four-step process involving instruction, modeling, rehearsal (parent practices the skill), and immediate feedback from the therapist.
• Live Coaching: Using techniques like Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), where a therapist provides real-time guidance during parent-child play.
• Workshops & Group Therapy: Group sessions (e.g., the Hambisela program) allow parents to learn from each other and share experiences.
• Video Feedback: Reviewing recorded interactions between the parent and child to identify strengths and areas for improvement
