Details
Ashraya Akruti was estabilished in 1996. It has been working for the hearing disabled children and the under privileged children. The organization has been following several unique techniques in imparting special education to these children. The staff members are well equipped to train the children.
The project has identified and funded the premises that will have a capacity to accommodate around 250 children. A comprehensive teaching program is in place with the aim of mainstreaming the children. The program focuses on the rehabilitation of the students and also provides residential facilities for children coming from far off places.
Ashraya Akruti focuses on residual hearing power of the students thus encouraging them to speak rather than use sign language. They focus on active participation of the mothers in the development of the children. The school is an integrated school and maintains a low teacher – student ratio. This enables each student to get the individual attention they deserve. These strategies help the students join mainstream schools faster and encourage and facilitate their attendance.
