Asha for Education

Structured intervention programmes for children with mental retardation, autism, or any other intellectual impairment.

Shristi Special Academy is a registered society with a governing committee (Regd. Under Karnataka Societies Act). It is a non-profit organisation, headed by a team of trained, qualified and experienced special educators who feel the need today is to provide quality services and well designed and structured intervention programmes to children with mental retardation, autism or any other intellectual impairment.

Shristi Special Academy has a unique set of programs designed to enable independence among the mentally challenged, developmentally delayed, and those with autism and attention deficit hyperactive disorders of all ages. Rehabilitation at Shristi includes therapeutic intervention with a focus on special education, sensory stimulation, physiotherapy, language stimulation, and occupational therapy. Through an intensive, individualized and child-focused training program, Shristi has enabled many children with developmental delays to go to normal schools, and still other individuals to gain employment. The teachers at Shristi are special educators trained to work with mentally challenged and autistic children. Asha, with its belief that retaining educators in the system is the way to sustain education, particularly in the context of special education, supports salaries for the special educators at Shristi.
