Why work with us

The awareness about the needs of special children in tier 3 towns like Nashik and Solapur is abysmally low. So it is important to advocate the need for early intervention at the grassroot level...For most children, sense organs work in a unified manner to carry stimuli to the brain. But in case of children with impairments, there is a lack of sensory integration which interferes with their normal functioning with varying intensity. This is known as dysfunction in sensory integration (D.S.I.). It is manifested through physical clumsiness and poor body awareness; hyper or hypo sensitivity of neuro-sensory functioning, delays in speech, language and/or motor skills; inappropriate response to touch, movements, sights or sounds; poor self care skills; activity level unusually high or low, very limited attention span; social and/or emotional difficulties, issues of self-esteem. When the process is disordered a number of problems in learning, motor skills and behavior may be evident. Further, child development research has established that the rate of human learning and development is most rapid in the preschool years. Timing of intervention becomes particularly important when a child runs the risk of missing an opportunity to learn during a state of maximum readiness. Parents have to be vigilant, especially in case of infants, toddlers, and very young children (i.e. children between 3-7 years of age), about various milestones in all aspects of their child’s holistic development.
