Devdan Foundation Learning Centre has been following the curriculum of NIMH (National Institute for the Mentally Handicapped) which helps the integrated personality development of the children and to identify their special skills. It comprises academic studies, training of activities of daily living, computer education, vocational training, gross motor and fine motor activities, communication skills, social skills etc.

Each class has been divided into groups on the basis of the students’ functional levels and chronological age. Each group has a classroom setting where personalized attention is offered according to their various needs. Grouping of these children is a skilled job in which each child is simultaneously programmed for and taught in a one-to-one situation and in a group.

A comprehensive curriculum has been developed for each branch. The following areas are covered broadly –

At Devdan, we believe that education extends far beyond the walls of a classroom. For children with special needs, learning is not just about academics—it’s about developing life skills, building confidence, and discovering passions. That’s why our co-curricular program is an integral part of our holistic approach to education. Through a diverse range of activities, we empower our students to explore, grow, and thrive in every aspect of their lives.

 

Our Co-Curricular Approach: Tailored for Every Child

We understand that every child is unique, with their own strengths, interests, and challenges. That’s why our co-curricular program is flexible and inclusive, offering a variety of activities to suit different abilities and preferences. Whether it’s through art, sports, music, or community service, we provide a safe and supportive environment where every student can shine.

 

Creative Arts

Art, music, and drama are powerful tools for self-expression and emotional regulation. Our creative arts programs allow students to explore their talents, build confidence, and communicate in new ways. From painting and sculpture to choir performances and theater productions, the possibilities are endless.

 

Sports and Physical Activities

Physical activity is essential for health, well-being, and motor skill development. Our adapted sports programs, such as swimming, yoga, and inclusive team games, are designed to meet the needs of all students. We focus on participation, enjoyment, and personal growth rather than competition.

 

Life Skills Training

Preparing students for independence is a key goal of our co-curricular program. Through activities like cooking, gardening, and community outings, we teach practical skills that students can use in their daily lives.

 

Social and Recreational Clubs

From book clubs to gaming groups, our social clubs provide opportunities for students to connect with peers, share interests, and build friendships. These activities also help develop communication and social skills in a fun, relaxed setting.

 

Community Engagement

We have a well functional physiotherapy unit in our school to help children who have difficulty with functional movement, poor balance, and challenges moving through their environment. The physiotherapist will design and implement a program that will help to improve the individual child’s areas of need and increase overall function and participation. Physiotherapy plays an important role in improving the gross motor skills and mobility of a child. It also helps in maximizing the potential in children with multiple physical and learning difficulties. Main approach would be to access the requirement of the child correcting the gait pattern suggesting and working on improving the weak muscles advising for use of splints if required. Improving the gross and fine hand functions. Enhance the Child’s overall Activities of Daily living (ADL). Thus, adding on the quality in life. Here in Devdan Foundation Learning Centre, we provide physiotherapy during the school hours for the needy students.

Language delay and language deviant development are often the features which lead to diagnosis and assessment of multiple mental disability and autism. The aim of intervention is to understand the nature and extent of children's difficulties and to facilitate better communication skills. The school offers a unique speech and language therapy; Speech Computer Program. Specifically charted speech exercises are done by full time speech therapists and special educators. Many conditions, including intellectually challenged, cerebral palsy, autism, developmental delays, learning disability can be a cause of difficulty with speech and language development. Devdan Foundation Learning Centre provides speech therapy by engaging the students in various activities and training aimed at improving speech and language skills and oral motor abilities, which enables the children with special needs to improve their speech and overcome their communication problems.

We take a personalized, child-centered approach to OT. Our therapists collaborate with teachers, parents, and other professionals to create tailored intervention plans that align with each student’s goals. We also incorporate play-based and sensory-friendly activities to make therapy engaging and effective. Our OT sessions are designed to be fun and motivating, ensuring that children look forward to learning and growing. From sensory rooms to adaptive equipment, we provide the tools and environments needed to support each child’s journey. Occupational therapy is more than just a service; it’s a pathway to empowerment. Our dedicated occupational therapists work closely with students, families, and educators to help children develop the skills they need to participate fully in school, at home, and in the community. Whether it’s improving fine motor skills, enhancing sensory processing, or fostering social-emotional growth, OT plays a vital role in unlocking each child’s potential.

 

 

 

We believe that every behavior has a purpose. Our approach to behavioral therapy is rooted in compassion, respect, and evidence-based practices. We don’t just focus on “fixing” behavior—we focus on understanding the each and every student behind it.

 

Our team of skilled behavioral therapists, educators, and support staff work together to create a safe, nurturing environment where students feel understood and supported. We use positive reinforcement, individualized strategies, and a collaborative approach to help each child succeed. Our key components of behavioral therapy are Individualized Behavior Plans, Positive Behavior Support (PBS), Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA), Skill-Building and Social-Emotional Learning and Collaboration with Families. Behavioral therapy is about more than just improving behavior—it’s about improving quality of life. By addressing the underlying causes of challenging behaviors, we help our students to build stronger relationships with peers and adults, participate more fully in school and community activities and develop the skills they need to lead fulfilling, independent lives. At Devdan, we understand that behavior is a form of communication. For children with special needs, challenging behaviors often stem from unmet needs, difficulties with communication, or struggles with sensory processing. That’s why we’ve made behavioral therapy a cornerstone of our approach to education and development. Our goal is not just to manage behavior but to understand it, address its root causes, and empower our students to thrive.
