ARUSHI intends to start ‘Pre-School’ for children with disabilities. Currently, no such school provides the
kind of facility that we intend to provide. The children with different disabilities have their special needs.
Blind children need to be given training in the activities of daily living: orientation & mobility, reading & writing through Braille, use of computer with the help of ‘text-to-speech’ tools etc. Besides, children with low vision also need to be trained in the use of their residual vision; the hearing impaired need additional inputs by way of early language training & speech therapy; the children with Cerebral Palsy & physical impairment need physiotherapy & training; the children with mental retardation need individualized education; so ARUSHI provides these children with their above mentioned special needs.
