When Ms. Sindhuma had trouble finding
the right support at school to train
her son with basic life skills, she realized she had
to do something drastically different. She began
home-schooling her
son and worked on him
with a team of special educator, a
physiotherapist and speechtherapist and found that together they made
small wins. With the thought of
sharing these wins with other parents
who go through similar situations, Sindhu ma garu along with her
husband, Mr. Vallabhaneni KrishnaKUMAR garu and her friends
established
Abhaya Care Foundation and started
Autism Research & Multidisciplinary School (ARMS)
in June 2010. She
closely monitors day-to-day activities at school
and supports the staffwith daily challenges. In 2015 June they
Started another ARMS in Patamata, Vijayawada.

Autism Research & Multidisciplinary School (ARMS)
It is a day-time school for children and young adults with special
needs, mainly autism spectrum disorders and other conditions such as Downs,
Cerebral Palsy (CP), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and other
behavioral challenges.
Role of
Teachers
- · Teachers are specially trained for working in these type of organizations.
- · They are instructed to be very strict in delivering their charges.
- · They require a lot of will power and patience in transforming the child.
Current situation of special
needs in India:
·
The needs of special children in India are not
being met in either the regular or special
cases like education systems due to lack of trained special educators and
therapists.
·
In addition, to that there are not enough services to meet the
needs of these children as they are not explored.
·
This field also faces the problem of retaining
good professionals and therapists in the country as it is highly difficult for working
with love and patience towards them.
·
Parents are not ready to accept, as they feel it
as guilty they are joining their children in regular schools.

Responsibility
of society :
Well if this is the
society that is made by ‘normal’ people, then we are the ones who are disabled
as we cannot fight for the change . It’s we who feel handicapped when it comes
even for raising our voice for a social cause, we should support them in all
the possible ways , so that they are not subjected to any uncomfortable in the
society.
