Impact/Benefit

• Prakruthi is a program aiming to make autistic individuals socially acceptable using behavioral modification and Sensory Integration.

• Individuals with autism require one- on-one sessions hence the teacher student ratio should ideally be 1:2 wherein the therapist can analyse and give opportunities for the children to explore themselves and express better.

• It would also provide for a Speech and Psychologist's consultation which will help in Assessment and Evaluation.

• They have unique ways of communication and inability to express their emotions. Each behavior is analyzed and the therapist can give opportunities wherein these children can explore themselves and express better.

• The funding would provide for Social Worker Visits wherein Home visits of the beneficiaries are conducted as well as conducting of Medical camps, check ups etc.

• Therapies are rotated on a regular basis so that the skills learnt at one to one session can be generalized . As they are poor in imitation and social skills, social plays organized by the therapists can benefit them.
