Snehadhara
Foundation is doing exemplary work with children and adults with special needs
and their families. It is the first school of its kind using Arts Based
Therapy. The foundation has not only provided a creative space for these
special people to develop their individual potential, but is also doing
commendable work towards increasing awareness about the contribution that they
can make towards enriching our lives. Though the main focus is the student, the
school works extensively to train their families and the community as well.
This makes learning sustainable and meaningful. I very strongly recommend
Snehadhara Foundation to any organisation wishing to get involved in the lives
of some very beautiful special people. - Andal

Snehadhara
occupies a unique space in the non-profit educational sector - it is an
organization which has effectively showcased the potential of arts based therapy
for special children in the city of Bangalore. I believe that they do need
further support to conduct their practice more intensively, with more resources
for research and documentation, so that their fledgling efforts can not only be
up scaled but also provide a pathway for others working in the field of
disabilities and education. - Ramnath Bhat

We are
fortunate to have a team which primarily focussing Arts Based Therapy for
differently abled people. Additionally, this team has practitioners who are
certified by WCCL, Pune. It is imperative that a highly committed organisation
like this has to leverage upon the rest of the eco system and should also be
able to use schemes and provisions provided by Government. This way a committed
and dedicated Organisation/Team achieves its goals and shall have a positive
impact on the society in bringing the differently abled children/adults to main
stream. I feel an organisation like yours should proactively enable more such
NGOs to make this society more adaptive for differently abled people. -

There
is a tremendous shortage of professional support for the development of
children with special needs in India. Snehadhara has found a niche for itself -
through art, music and other performance therapy - to be able to give these
children and their families the environment and support they need. As the
organisation's confidence and track record in this has grown, Snehadhara has
also drafted for itself a growth trajectory for large-scale impact, understanding
that the next steps are to increase the number of trained personnel who can
perform similar professional roles, and to work with the public education
system to provide a more inclusive atmosphere for children with special
learning needs. Each of these steps is long overdue, and if carried out well
will greatly help shape the environment for 'special education' in the coming
years. - Ashwin Mahesh (Mapunity)
You
should consider Snehadhara because their core strength is creating excellent
educational, remedial & therapeutic programs for their clients. They are
the only organization which does 'overnighters' for their children. Some of
these kids are highly dependent on their parents. Getting them to stay the
night in the centre, without parents, and being able to do it successfully, is
proof enough of the dedicated team. They are pioneering effective therapeutic
strategies where conventional approaches have performed poorly. Since their programs
are showing positive results with the group of children, they have the
potential to eventually, replicate this program and lead other organizations
towards similar approaches. - Zubin Balsara
