On April 2, 2007, the Ashish Centre opened with its doors with ten students. Most of children have autism, though we do have children with other developmental disabilities too, excluding visual and hearing impairment. 50% of these children are on scholarship which is decided on the basis of the income of the family.
We maintain a ratio of one special educator for every four children in attendance. In addition, there is one adult (as an assistant or volunteer) for every two children. We provide them with
Occupational Therapy
Speech Therapy
Behaviour Therapy
Vocational Education
Besides the usual teaching as well as Activities of Daily Living. |

Workshops - At the invitation of other organizations, the Ashish staff also conducts workshops regarding disability awareness and sensitivity. We have already two workshops with 2 different groups of project staff of an organization. In addition, we have also provided the organization with information on how to effectively intervene in the area of disabilities by giving them assistance and material on how to detect early warning signs so that intervention can be done at the earliest possible time
Community - We conduct workshops on how members of the community can be change-agents in society in the field of disability.
Parent support Group - The last Saturday of the month is a parent support group meeting at the centre. Child care is provided. |
