Centre for Special needs
Our Curative Centre, a haven for children with intellectual disabilities, learning challenges, and autism, follows a Rudolf Steiner-inspired Curative curriculum.
Tailored individual learning plans are focused on fostering self-reliance and independence, creating a normal environment where no child is labeled as a patient. Here, each child learns at their own pace, embracing their authentic self.
The center focus lies on touch, life, movement, and balance—the key senses. A life Rhythm is instilled in kids seamlessly through various activities and therapy sessions everyday.
