MARG assessment

360 Degree, Assessment – MARG

Our comprehensive pre-admission assessments evaluate a child’s development across all areas, including academic skills, physical, cognitive, sensory, speech and communication. The assessment provides a complete understanding of the child’s strengths and areas of support before the child is on-board. Insights from the evaluation help in designing individualized learning plans tailored to each child’s needs. This ensures every child receives the guidance and resources required to thrive in a nurturing and supportive environment.

Ages 3–6

Early Intervention Programs

The next step is the Early Intervention phase that includes therapy interventions, play-based learning and activity-based approaches to support children, who are experiencing developmental delays or other learning disabilities.

Babies Clinic: Provides early developmental support and parental guidance for infants and toddlers up to 3 years old, helping them develop skills in play, communication, movement, sensory processing, feeding, and other daily living activities.

This includes skills such as functional reading, writing, arithmetic, activities of daily living (ADL) and actively participating in community living. This program teaches independence by developing practical problem-solving skills, ensuring that students can navigate society with relative ease.

With these skills, they can get placed in various industries or start businesses of their own and contribute actively to society.
