Special Needs & Special Friends...

If we are ever asked to describe the life of a special needs child in one word, it would be 'LONELINESS'.


As parents of special needs children, we all know the life of a special needs child has various aspects
that need to be addressed and catered to at all times.  We continuously try to cover all ground to the best of our abilities so that the child's life is as normal as possible. However in this process, we often feel the NEED to COMPENSATE for the child's loneliness more than anything else.

Their life is full of activities, academics, therapies, counseling sessions and so much more. Children with lots to do but with one crucial missing link, in most cases they do these activities ALONE. So their day is full of activities but their life is mostly spent in the company of ADULTS.


Hence the idea behind our 'BUDDY CENTER', where children with special needs meet, play and just be allowed to be themselves.

The Buddy Center is primarily for children to meet other children, and to address the issue of loneliness that these children go thru in their everyday lives.

While attending our Buddy Center sessions, they will have the opportunity to meet other children and participate in activities that are centric to basic socialization with learning outcomes. Activities could include story telling, singing, dance, activities based using audio visual aids etc.

Just 2 hours of fun filled activities with an aim to achieve moments of 'BEING THEMSELVES'.
