Hear from the families and students whose lives have been touched by ASHA.

"The EI program helped me understand what my son is going through. We were provided with many materials to support his development in each domain. Each therapist was very helpful while working with him. The ideas and inputs from the therapists and teachers were extremely useful. My son has shown tremendous growth in all areas, especially in cognition and self-help skills. I also understood the importance of using PECS for him, as suggested by the speech therapist. He picked up the concept very quickly, which has made communication much easier for me. Many online sessions were conducted by various experts on different aspects of teaching. Parent training sessions were also held for a month, focusing on each developmental domain. I learned a lot from these sessions and from the therapists. Jayashree ma’am always motivates us to do more. Over the past year, there have been significant improvements in all areas."

"We were happy with all the 3 classes he was in. We were amazed and happy with the cleanliness of the classes and the school as a whole. The 3 teacher concept in each class was helpful for the children and the main teacher as well. They are very dedicated towards their job and passionate towards the children. The sports day, annual day gave a chance for us parents to witness our children perform on stage and win medals."
