Integration of Therapy with Education

Children with conditions like dyslexia, Down Syndrome, or cerebral palsy often need speech, occupational, or behavioral therapy alongside academics.

Open school models like Lady Andal House of Children can integrate therapy into the school day, something not possible in most mainstream schools

Reduced Sensory and Social Overload

Schools designed for special needs reduce noise, pressure, and large group interaction, allowing for safe, smaller-group learning—especially important for children on the autism spectrum.

Open schools give families the freedom to opt for home-based or hybrid learning during challenging periods.

Vocational Skilling Alongside Academics

Many children with special needs thrive in hands-on, skill-based learning environments.

Open schools can integrate vocational training (e.g., art, tailoring, gardening, computing) with functional academics—enhancing self-reliance and employability.

Reduced Sensory and Social Overload

Special needs children are often at risk of dropping out due to bullying, lack of support, or inaccessible curriculum.

Open schooling is designed to prevent exclusion—creating an environment where learning is adapted to the child, not the other way around.
