Academics & Real‑World Learning
Our academic program supports children across mild, moderate, severe, and profound categories, with learning goals tailored to each stage. In the pre‑primary years, children build readiness skills such as identifying objects, responding to their names, following simple instructions, and beginning independent eating and toileting. At the primary level, they learn self‑introduction, basic counting, neat dressing and eating habits, turn‑taking, and social participation. In the secondary stage, they express needs in sentences, write personal details, do simple addition, read clocks and calendars, share food, and understand early money concepts. At the pre‑vocational level, academics extend into functional life skills—grooming, washing, safe cooking, writing biodata and leave letters, exchanging money, using calculators, understanding time and public places.
Classroom Learning to Real‑World Skills
Outings are the most effective way to see how classroom learning translates into real‑life behaviour. When children use social, academic, and practical skills outside school, they move closer to true independence and mainstream integration.
Different outings build different abilities—banks and post offices for academics, museums for general knowledge, markets and shops for commercial understanding, and parks or zoos for recreation.
At Sri Vidhya, outings are planned based on each child’s needs. A typical group includes about 15 children with 4 teachers. Boys and girls go in separate groups, and children are from Primary, Secondary, or Pre‑Vocational levels.
Example: Café Visit
Each child carries ₹100, chooses an item from the menu, eats, receives the bill, pays, and collects change—without teacher help. Over a few outings, they learn service procedures, billing, waiting, politeness, and public behaviour.
Skills Gained
- Handling and valuing money
- Confidence and independence
- Decision‑making
- Dressing and etiquette
- Social behaviour and personality development
These skills later help them succeed in jobs and daily life. Many children who once struggled with basic self‑care eventually become independent and even support their families. This transformation—from inability to ability—is slow, but the results are nothing short of remarkable.
Vocational training focuses on children with diverse abilities to build the practical, everyday skills they need to grow with confidence and independence. It begins with strengthening essential daily‑living abilities—personal care, organization, basic money handling, and safety awareness—so each child gains a strong foundation for navigating daily life.
Children then progress to pre‑vocational activities such as sorting, sequencing, matching, and following step‑by‑step instructions. These tasks improve focus, coordination, and the ability to complete work systematically. As they advance, they explore hands‑on vocational skills like cooking, gardening, office assistance, packaging, or craft making. Each activity is chosen to match the child’s interests and strengths, helping them experience success and discover what they enjoy.
Training is delivered through individualized, structured, and supportive methods, using visual cues, demonstrations, and repetition. This ensures that every child learns at their own pace and feels encouraged throughout the process. Beyond skill development, vocational training nurtures confidence, responsibility, and a sense of purpose, enabling children to participate meaningfully in their homes, communities, and future workplaces.
Speech Language & Communication:
For any child communication with language via speech helps to express his/her physical needs and emotions and thus complete social interaction.
Language is a structured system of words and signs with rules while communication is the broader process of exchanging information, ideas and emotions.
The Speech Therapist works with the children to improve all these skills. Many children with special needs have problems with communication. They face problems with inability to speak, to make sounds and have difficulty in putting words together. Many have specific hearing problems also. Speech production is a complex process involving coordination of tongue, jaws, lips and throat with the Brain. In early years the child’s mind is plastic and can be moulded: it is easy to teach and develop speech. It is better to start early than late or never. It is a individual specific training by the therapist.
Both language and communication help to connect and understand and thus build and improve relationships. Therapy involves personalised exercises and activities to strengthen speech muscles, to improve articulation and increase expression of language.
The therapy session concentrates on giving strength to the mouth, tongue muscles and practice specific sounds. The final goal is to boost confidence & quality of life by saying sounds correctly and holding small conversations.
Parents are given feedback and are involved with the activities to reinforce the skills. It helps immensely with speech delays, autism and developmental disorders.
It would not be inappropriate to mention here the success story of a child Lasya. When Lasya came to Sri Vidhya at the age of 4, she had totally no speech capabilities. With intensive speech therapy, slowly and gradually everything changed and wonders worked for her. A communicative Lasya became the wonder child for her parents and a joy for her class teachers determination and dedication changed Lasya’s communication abilities. After long tough years of therapy she can now orally tell the address of her house and her school. She can name community workers and use words like Doctor, Driver, Nurse, Police, Barber & Teacher. She can read and tell sign boards like push, pull, toilet, ladies, gents, bank, bakery, school, hospital and bus-stop. She can read her Biodata & tell Phone numbers. She can read the clock and recite simple tables. She can name vehicles.
The obvious answer to this improvement is the speech training. Speech has now become so normal for Lasya that she does not come across as a special child anymore. Her answers to questions and conversations flow out easily, fluently and with confidence.
It was tough but there was no giving up. Hard work did wonders and the school produced the Happy Results.
Physiotherapy enhances mobility and independence through specific exercises improving posture, balance and coordination. The therapist concentrates both on Gross motor and Fine motor skills. At Sri Vidhyas more than 50% of our children require Physiotherapy.
We therefore have a full-fledged Physio unit headed by a qualified and experienced therapist. This fully equipped unit caters to the needs of the children. The school, home and community can help a child lead a highly satisfactory life aimed for boosting confidence and gaining independence. Hand in hand is the occupational therapy unit wherein all the children receive training in all aspects of OT.
OT maintains the skills needed for daily living like basic self-care to complex tasks making life more productive and meaningful. Goals are made and therapeutic tools like playing, cooking, bathing, dressing, eating, grooming are the meaningful tasks that are used to generally improve the quality of life. It ultimately becomes a fine combination of schoolwork and domestic activity.
At Sri Vidhyas Centre we have a large number of children within the Autism Spectrum. We therefore also have a state of Art Sensory Room where children are participating in activities under the supervision of a trained Specialist.
