Home away from Home
Community Initiative
Volunteer Your Expert
Be Supportive
As our system works only with a cent percentage of help and support from the parents and guardians, we always ensure to build a homely atmosphere for the students who are stepping out of their comfort zone for the first time.
As students settle in, Santhi Sadanam quickly becomes their “home away from home.” In this close-knit environment, staff and students become family, with each member responsible and accountable to the others. Individual personalities and progress are celebrated daily.
Each student in the group gains skills in problem-solving, conflict resolution, expression of feelings, coping strategies, and executive function skills. Daily activities provide both faculty and staff with countless real-life teachable moments.
