Mother of a 9 year old SEN child undergoing remedial therapy
It has been almost 3 years that we have been with Drishti. At the time of joining Drishti, our son was extremely shy, timid and lacking in confidence (and) with almost no concentration. I too was disoriented as to which way to go and which was the right way (for us)…We could see an increase in concentration levels within a few months…awareness regarding responsibility started developing…

Its almost 2 years since our daughter joined Drishti…now you just have to look at her. She has changed. She is confident, mixes with people, answers questions with confidence in every subject…even her writing and thinking skills have improved. She has begun taking interest in her studies…she still has hard work to do but now I know she will do it…I now have hope (and confidence)…
