How did you spend your summer?


The Skills Enhancement class of the Pre-Vocational Training has it’s first project out! The assignment was a pictorial representation of where they went in their summer vacations. This parent-child project was given as an opportunity for parents to bond with their children and show the enthusiasm that they do with their teachers. While their disabilities may slow them down in some ways, such projects urge the parents to involve themselves in the education of their children. 







A life dedicated to working with love.


I was an undergraduate texile student in Sophia College, Mumbai and helped SPJ Sadhana School in my free time. The institute is a internationally recongnized school and resource center dedicated to train people with special needs. It started with love, and it changed my life. After graduating Textile Design I enrolled in a teachers training course for special needs education. My goals had shifted undoubtably. 


Today as the Vice Principal of SPJ Sadhana School, Dr. Rakhike Khanna would love to share their knowledge and experiences after 35 years of  developing curriculum and strategies for special needs children with everyone who would like to know.
