Gems project of Khushi started in June 2009.The program of each child is individually made and monitored with consultation of the parent by Dr. Reena Singh Varadkar. The therapist provides advice and support to parents on critical issues which needs to be targeted. Also they provide instruction for the home program to be followed. The therapist / educators work for one and a half hours with kids in 1 to 1 session to overcome various developmental issues. Also they work in group sessions to enhance their social interaction skills for one and a half hours. There is a snack break of half and hour in between the group and the individual sessions. The sessions are held from Monday to Friday. The kids are taken out of classrooms to get exposure such as Malls, restaurant, market etc. every Friday. Parents observe the kids in the second and fourth week of the month.
