It brings us back to life, more so if it is a child’s smile. Our centre has taken up the endeavor to bring back this lovely smile -“Muskan”, back on the faces of our special children and their parents through our services. Dipti Gandhi founded Muskan Foundation in 2007 with Mrs. Chhaya Shah, Mr. Sanjay Gandhi, and Mrs. Meenakshi Shivram as trustees. Muskan started with two teachers and four students and now has a team of 21 teachers, 8 therapists, 4 admin staff and more than 80 students. Muskan works with these children and helps them to learn and develop basic skills to live an independent life. Muskan Foundation provides affordable quality services to children with Multiple Disabilities with Vision Impairment. The key services offered are Special Education, Early Intervention and Therapy
The Education Intervention is conducted through the H G Hanmante School which offers Individualized Educational Programme (IEP) which includes customized curriculum and 1:1 student-teacher ratio, in severe cases and 1:3 student-teacher ratio, in general.
