Aditya Rao has been in Navdivyang Foundation since Feb 2021. The NDF centre used to be our haven of peace as the world was facing the corona pandemic. Sports and gym at NDF helped to reduce Aditya's dependence on medicine. The various celebrations and social interactions with the young staff at NDF helped Aditya gel well socially. Gopal Sir and team identified Aditya's talent in sports and selected him for the National Athletics meet at Gwalior and for powerlifting at FitIndia event organised by Sports Authority of India, where he won medals. I was glad that Aditya could provide data for a Google project Euphonia and got stipend for that. Overall Aditya's physical fitness and social awareness has improved after joining NDF. I am thankful to Gopal Sir and each and every staff member of NDF for their support, patience and hardwork.
Nav Divyang Foundation has been a very supportive set up for me and my child. The safety of every child is important here. I have found one place where my child is happy, engaged and is in a safe space. My child is happy to go to school and school takes a lot of efforts to engage kids in a lot of extra curricular activities. This school is a genuine effort to support special needs kids and their families.
Thank you NDF team for your incredible patience and dedication with Raghav .We are so grateful for the progress he has made. We've seen a significant boost in his confidence, especially in sports, singing and other activities.
We truly appreciate the warm and loving environment you have created, not only helped him with his academic learning but have also helped him develop socially and emotionally.
We are so thankful for your kindness, creativity, and for making school a safe and happy place for all the kids.
We are so grateful for the time, patience, and energy you invest in their growth and for helping them feel valued and encouraged".
At Nav Divyang, we found a place that truly helps bring the best out of our daughter, Naina.
Their team cares for every child with genuine love and honesty and are passionate about their jobs.
Naina along with playing sports and sitting in class, is now also making new friends, participating in school events and dancing. This has given her a new found confidence in her abilities, which we are sure will only grow in the coming years.
In a world where Special Needs children are only managed, Nav Divyang Foundation values and cares for them
Before Ridit joined NDF, we started with the PT course at NDF, and it convinced us to take admission in NDF. All our doubts were clarified.
Ridit got admitted in April this year. He is quite stubborn and doesn’t like the classroom setups, and sometimes cries. But his teachers handle him with so much care and love. They encourage him to participate in every activity and share videos of these activities done.
We are also happy with his physical sessions.
Another wonderful thing about NDF is that they celebrate every festival with our children.
On behalf of our family, thank you to everyone for your kindness, patience, and support.
My son Shivesh has been going to nav divyang foundation (ndf) school since 2019.
He loves going to his school and if your child is happy nothing else matters.
All the staff are trained to handle our children with special needs. They are loving, caring, empathetic and compassionate. The class size is small enough to ensure each child's need is attended to.The school is equipped with a gym as a result even the sports needs are met.
Overall a very good special needs school in our area.
The student teacher ratio is approximately 3:1. Every classroom has one certified Special Educator and one trained Assistant Teacher. Besides there are helpers to take care of personal hygiene and assist with daily tasks. Children also have daily Sports training and may even access 1:1 Speech and Occupational Therapy.
