We believe in the idea of
“education for all!”
A Capacity-Building initiative of Ishanya India Foundation for caregivers, special educators, trainers, mentors & professionals to train individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder in rural Karnataka
This basic course gives a sneak peek into the world of autism. It covers important topics including identifying red flag signs, understanding the characteristic features, learning about diagnostic tools, and intervention methods apart from understanding the importance and methods of training pre-vocational, vocational skills, and employability skills.
To begin with, we have partnered with Autism Society of Udupi in coastal Karnataka and as a part of phase 1, we are working with 70+ educators & caregivers from 10+ organizations.
community building
Along with building capacity, our aim is to build a community of educators, caregivers & professionals who can be connected & assist each other as & when required.
long term support
Post the training, participants will be added to specific cohort groups. Here, they will be able to discuss specific cases, seek help & request further assistance.
best practices & strategies
