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 12 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.
