New therapeutic school offers hope for children with autism, special needs

Children with autism and special needs often struggle to adjust in mainstream schools, leaving parents anxious about their children’s future. In response to this pressing concern, RRM Therapeutic School has been established as a dedicated space for therapies, special education and life-skills training. The institution promises to be a new ray of hope for families, offering an environment where children are nurtured with love and guided towards self-reliance.

With separate classes across different levels, the school aims to provide tailored support to each child through speech and occupational therapy, specialised education and life-skills development.

The school was formally inaugurated with a Havan Yagna ceremony. Amrit Sagar Mittal, vice-chairman of the Sonalika Group and Sangeeta Mittal, director of Sonalika CSR Projects and a spiritual guide, graced the occasion and officially dedicated the school to society.

The initiative is part of the Sonalika Group’s broader CSR efforts, which include projects such as Sanjeevani Sharanam, *RRM Holistic Clinic and an Autism Centre — all aimed at providing holistic support to vulnerable sections of society.

Speaking at the event, Amrit Sagar Mittal said the school would be beneficial for children who are unable to attend regular schools. He said, “There is not much difference between us and these children. If we place them in the right channel from the beginning, their future life will become smooth.” He emphasised serving humanity while pursuing professional goals is deeply fulfilling, and blessed the institution for its continued growth.

Calling the school a “shelter of love and compassion,” Sangeeta Mittal shared her thoughts on the journey so far. “A year ago, we planted a seed of hope for these children and created a place where unseen light can be felt and understood. Every step taken for these children is a celebration of love and care. We still have many milestones to achieve and many smiles to spread.” She also urged parents to accept autism openly and advised them to reduce children’s exposure to mobile phones and television, especially during mealtimes.

RRM School Head Anishma Sharma and CSR Coordinator Neeraj Manocha assured families the institution’s team of special educators, speech therapists and occupational therapists is fully dedicated to helping children become self-reliant and more integrated into mainstream society.
