Work with us hand in hand to enable children with special needs to overcome circumstances that impede their development and potential growth. Partner with us in extending opportunities to create an improved quality of life by upping their self-reliance a notch higher. Our commitment to the cause and relentless hours of work by our team can only take us so far. Your support can make a significant difference.
We are in constant need of Special Educators and Therapists in various capacities for our schools and outreach programs. If you are a qualified Special Educator or a Physical/Occupational/Speech Therapist or others, join us today. Be a part of our team. If you are an MSW student looking for internships to gain experience, become a project volunteer. DSW Trust will award recognition certificates at the end of your service.
Prakriti, our two-pronged program, cares for nature and our children. We ensure that our students can explore and experience the interconnectedness between humans and nature. We promote recycling, afforestation, and sustainable practices to become a part of everyday life habits. Prakriti Initiatives heal our planet, and the proceeds fund therapy services for children with special needs.
Vriddhi supports multiple projects focusing on expanding equitable opportunities through occupational therapy. Specialized strategies are implemented to support sustainable livelihoods for children with disabilities, including their families. We distribute wheelchairs & welfare aids to improve the quality of life of persons with disabilities.
We are committed to bringing education to every child with special needs under Sikshadhaan Program. We offer it free of charge to underprivileged children identified and assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Our schools lay equal emphasis on skill development and academic learning. Our students benefit from integrated treatment programs, access to Clinical Psychology Services, social interaction skills and differentiated instruction.
When disasters strike, we partner with corporates, regional political parties, and local agencies to identify and prioritize humanitarian needs such as rescuing, distributing clothing, food, hygiene kits, and other necessities to the adversely affected. Our volunteers play a key role in ensuring resources are used in the most efficient and effective ways to address community needs.
Through Annapoorna, our food assistance program we provide meals to children from low-income families. You can be a sponsor to our program and provide food assistance to children who may not otherwise get a decent meal.
“We were looking out for schools that specialized in learning disabilities and visited several in Chennai. At Guru Vidhyashram, my son Thangaraj felt as comfortable as at home. The environment was friendly, safe, caring, and nurturing. We now know we made the right choice.The school’s individualized education program helps him not only with textbook learning but also sports. He enjoys playing football and is receiving immense encouragement from the staff.”

“Guru Vidhyashram is the only Special Education School, to my knowledge, that includes the mother along with the child in its initiation and treatment plan. This is definitely an advantage for the parent and the child. My daughter Riya and I benefit from this approach greatly.”

“I was enrolling my son Karthikeyan at a school for the first time. I was naturally anxious. The teachers and other staff at Guru Vidhyashram soon made us feel comfortable. My son enjoys going to school, and it is very reassuring to me, knowing we made the right choice.”
