The real development of the neurodiverse children is more than acquiring grades. The visible development is being able to communicate, handle the day-to-day activities, socialize and make simple choices confidently.
The life skills training is one of the most important areas at Third Eye Center, where children learn to be ready to face real-life circumstances with dignity and self-belief.
