ABOUT DESS
Digitalizing Education in Special Schools
For six decades, SAHRUDAYA has been a beacon of hope and progress in Kerala, a well-established NGO dedicated to uplifting communities and individuals. Now, building on this legacy of service, we've partnered with XceptionalLEARNING, a leader in innovative digital technology for special needs education, to launch a groundbreaking initiative.
This collaborative program provides hands-on assistance to those who need it most. We are committed to empowering individuals with special needs across Kerala by bringing vital resources directly to them. Our program will be implemented in every special school throughout the state, ensuring that no one is left behind. Through this partnership, we combine SAHRUDAYA's extensive experience in community outreach with XceptionalLEARNING's cutting-edge technology, creating a powerful synergy for positive change. Together, we are building a more inclusive and supportive future for children and adults with special needs in Kerala.
PROJECT KERALA - DESS
Sahrudaya is dedicated to providing inclusive and effective education for children with special needs. We believe that technology plays a critical role in achieving this goal. Our partnership with [mention partner organization if applicable] has enabled us to introduce the Digital Activity Book (VergeTAB), a revolutionary learning tool. The VergeTAB's personalized learning approach, coupled with its teacher-controlled features, ensures a safe and focused learning environment, minimizing distractions and maximizing engagement. This is especially valuable for children who struggle with consistent attendance. Beyond academics, the VergeTAB fosters the development of crucial life and vocational skills, empowering students to build a brighter future.
Our Mission
We believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn and grow to their full potential. Our mission is to empower specially-abled students, parents, and schools through technology, fostering inclusion and creating a more equitable and supportive learning environment
Our Focus
We empower students with special needs, educators, and parents through technology. Our work centers on creating accessible and engaging learning experiences, providing educators with the skills and knowledge to effectively utilize assistive technologies, and equipping parents with the digital tools to support their children's learning journey.
Our Approach
We believe in the power of a blended learning environment. Our hybrid model integrates the best aspects of traditional teaching with the engaging possibilities of technology. This approach not only enhances the learning experience but also strengthens the connection between schools and parents, creating a supportive ecosystem for holistic student development and seamless learning transitions.
