Role play
The key to starting points for remediation is understanding how to foster one crucial psycho-social trait; resiliency. Resilience is a social skill that is honed over time, but in a child with Autism and other special needs, this can take a while to learn and when learned, can be demonstrated inconsistently. Environmental “triggers” and contributing factors can hamper rate and consistency of progress and performance, contributing to the child’s disorientation of person/place/time and reduced episodic memory. In layman’s terms, the opposite of resiliency is the previously discussed transitioning difficulty.
A neurotypical child begins to understand the basics of Causality and the concept of action/reaction early in their developmental lives.
Developing a sense of humor is one of the most important byproducts of being resilient.
Play skills development is a crucial, fundamental readiness indicator for a child to learn social skills, particular one with Autism.
Structured language development intervention is crucial for the child with special needs who may have challenging behaviors and gaps in their lexicon.
Mother
We are extremely happy with the intervention program at Daiva, we have seen significant improvements in our child from the day he had enrolled till date. We came with concerns of sitting tolerance, no eye contact, characteristics of Autism…. With the right intervention and rigorous work by the Teachers and the Therapists today my child is able to communicate, listen and follow instructions.
I thank Abira and Vishalini for their wonderful persistent work.
Father
We are very impressed with all the programs you have for the children, and appreciate that you help the most vulnerable children. Your work is so important. Thank you for having us.
Mother
I am very happy to send my daughter to Daiva Foundation. It’s been 2 years and there has been considerable changes in her, she is now able to do her daily activities with very little help which is a dream come true. I personally thank Abira, Vishalini, Therapists and the helpers. They have been a very good support to us. I wish them all good wishes in their endeavour.
Father
We can tell you that we are very happy with the school, the individual attention afforded to the students are remarkable, the training provided to make our child independent and be on his own has made us believe that with consistent effort we can bring out the positive changes. We thank Abira and Vishalini in their belief and efforts.
