Tamahar’s USP focuses on developmental age and skills rather than chronological age. A criterion-referenced observation allows us to check the growth of the child accurately from birth onwards, mapping skills along all developmental domains. These help us create individual intervention goals to build on inherent skills to reach their chronological age expectations. Focusing on training children to learn according to their age creates a difference in their understanding, ability, and what they are being taught. The interventions are based on experiential learning, which gives the children the freedom to experiment and understand functions. The same principle is used in our academic classes, where the focus is on personality development and life-skill training, along with education. Our Pre-Vocational and Sheltered Workshop programs allow our young adults to experience life in different work situations and prepare them for the eventual workplace.
We believe that our children need to enjoy life, be independent, and live a life of dignity. This is accomplished through a variety of services, like recreation in the form of hobby classes, sports, and therapies like occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech therapy, etc..
Training parents, extending emotional support, and providing family counseling are important for Tamahar because we believe these are essential components for the wellbeing of the family as a whole and, as a result, of the child.
There is a direct link between the parent’s self-worth and self-esteem and level of stress in a family with a child with special needs. One way to improve the family life is to help the parent become his/her own person by gaining their individual milestones like education, suitable/preferred vocations, hobbies, financial independence etc. Inculcate decision making skills and initiative taking abilities.
