Empowering Unique Learners at the Urjasvini Child Development Center: A Specialized Education for Every Child

At the Urjasvini Child Development Center, we believe in celebrating the unique strengths and potential of every child. Our Special School is designed for children aged 7 to 17, offering tailored educational programs that go beyond the traditional classroom setting. We focus on cultivating essential life skills, building strong academic foundations, and fostering independence, ensuring that each student is prepared to thrive in the world.

Program Structure: Nurturing Development by Age Group

7 to 11 Years: Laying Strong Foundations

At this early stage, we prioritize core foundational skills that will support future academic and personal success. Our approach is centered on developing critical language and communication abilities, basic literacy and numeracy, and emotional and social growth, all within a nurturing and structured environment.

  • Why Focus on Foundational Skills?Instead of overwhelming students with a broad range of subjects, we aim to build a solid base that prepares them for the more complex learning ahead. Our specialized instruction ensures that students are equipped with the tools they need to progress confidently through higher education.
  • Focus Areas:
    1. Communication: Development of speaking, listening, and understanding skills.
    2. Early Literacy & Numeracy: Building the basics in reading, writing, and math.
    3. Social and Emotional Skills: Teaching interpersonal interactions and emotional regulation.
    4. Physical Development: Focusing on motor skills and sensory integration through play and structured activities.

11 to 14 Years: Blending Core Academics with Adaptive Learning

As students mature, we introduce a balance of foundational academic content and adaptive learning techniques. Students continue strengthening their core skills while learning to use adaptive tools that support their unique learning styles. This ensures that students who struggle with traditional methods still have access to educational content in a way that works best for them.
    Focus Areas:
    1. Adaptive Learning: Teaching students how to use assistive technology or accommodations, such as speech-to-text tools or guided reading software, to stay engaged with academic content.
    2. Enhanced Academics: Students work on more challenging reading, math, and writing tasks while continuing to receive support in foundational areas.
    3. Social Development: Helping students navigate peer relationships and develop self-awareness in a supportive environment.
  1. Example: A student struggling with reading might be introduced to text-reading software, allowing them to access the same curriculum content as their peers without feeling left behind.

Tailored Educational Programs to Meet Every Need

The Adaptive Program is designed to help students with special needs become more independent by focusing on life skills that are essential for daily living.

A Holistic Approach to Education: Arts, Creativity, and More

At the Urjasvini Child Development Center, we recognize that academic learning is only part of the puzzle. That’s why we incorporate the arts into our curriculum, helping students express themselves, develop creativity, and enhance their cognitive and emotional skills.
  • Visual Arts: Encouraging creativity and individuality through activities like drawing, painting, and sculpture. This helps students build fine motor skills while exploring self-expression.
  • Drama: Through role-playing, improvisation, and sensory theater, students develop motor skills, body awareness, and emotional understanding. Drama also offers a safe space to explore their feelings and build confidence.
  • Music: Expanding students’ appreciation for global music through instruments and vocal training. Music helps develop motor skills and encourages social interaction and emotional expression.

Career Path Program for Young Adults (18+)

For neurodiverse young adults, the Career Path Program is a unique opportunity to transition into adulthood by focusing on employability and life skills. The program emphasizes:
  • Real-Life Experiences: Weekly community visits to practice life skills such as handling money, using public transportation, and managing personal time.
  • Job Skills Training: Customized internships in various industries based on individual interests and strengths, preparing students for meaningful employment.
  • Self-Advocacy: Teaching students how to represent themselves confidently in work and social settings, ensuring long-term success and independence.

Creating a Supportive Learning Environment: Grandstand

Our Grandstand initiative provides students with the opportunity to collaborate and share ideas in a creative, social environment. It encourages leadership, teamwork, and personal growth through group projects and community engagement. This space fosters independence, motivation, and problem-solving as students take ownership of their learning journey.
