Special & Inclusive Education

Education is not a privilege; it is a fundamental right — for every child, in every circumstance. At Sirisha Rehabilitation Centre (SRC), we are deeply committed to delivering Special and Inclusive Education for Children and Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDDs) and other associated conditions. Our aim is to ensure that no learner is left behind — regardless of ability, background, or need.

Our Purpose

We believe that education should nurture not only the mind but also the potential, dignity, and confidence of every learner. Our Special & Inclusive Education Program is designed to create customized learning pathways that allow individuals with disabilities to thrive academically, socially, emotionally, and functionally.

Special Education at SRC

Our Special Education Units cater to children with moderate to severe disabilities who require individualized support and structured learning environments. These classrooms are staffed by qualified special educators, therapists, and caregivers, and are equipped with assistive learning materials and adaptive tools.

Core features include:

  • 🧠 Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) based on each learner’s needs

  • 🗣️ Speech and Communication Support

  • ✍️ Functional Academics (language, numbers, life skills)

  • 🎨 Creative Expression through Art, Music, and Play

  • 🧩 Behavioral and Social Skills Training

  • 🤝 Parent-Teacher Collaboration for continuous progress

  • 🛠️ Daily Living and Pre-Vocational Skill Development

Inclusive Education Initiatives

In parallel, SRC actively promotes Inclusive Education by preparing children to enter mainstream schools and working with school systems to become more accommodating and accessible.

Our inclusion model focuses on:

School Readiness Programs

Inclusive Classroom Support and Shadow Teaching

Teacher Sensitization and Training Programs

Peer Awareness and Inclusion Workshops

Assistive Devices and Accessible Learning Materials

Regular Monitoring and Back-End Support

We partner with local schools, government institutions, and NGOs to promote the principles of accessibility, equity, and non-discrimination in education systems.

Bridging the Gap

The gap between special and inclusive education can be vast — but SRC serves as a bridge, ensuring children with disabilities are not isolated but empowered to become part of a learning community. Our work creates a continuum of care, from diagnosis and early intervention to education, rehabilitation, and eventual social integration.

Lifelong Impact

Many of our students, once non-verbal or non-responsive, are now reading, writing, socializing, and participating in their communities. Through compassionate teaching, structured methodologies, and a belief in every child’s ability, we open doors that were once closed — transforming not only lives but also mindsets.
