Open Door-The Special Education Program for Children with Autism

Education is important for all children. What children learn in the institution goes beyond reading, writing and math. School is where children make friends, learn how to handle difficult situations, communicate with adults and interact in different social situations.

Navigating these everyday situations can be difficult, but even more so for children with autism who learn differently, be sensitive to disruptions in schedule, loud noises or new situations. Additionally, children with autism have more difficulty applying the skills they learn in the classroom to real life situations. 

So, it is necessary for the autistic children to go to the right place and learn important social skills, communication skills and other life skills and can practice these skills in a safe and caring environment.

Open Door provides education that is especially designed for the children with autism who require specific teaching approaches, care and methods.

The specially designed classes allow the students to enjoy education and gain confidence due to individualised teaching. Open Door focuses on the teaching strategies that overpower the disadvantages of their disability and help the children to get quality education. 

At Open Door various internationally recognised teaching methods like structure teaching, verbal behavioural analysis, applied behavioural analysis are used for teaching. The education combines group activities and one-on-one teaching, as well as yoga, computer, sports and occupational therapy.
