Hello

So far, 8 children from Spandan School have been successfully integrated into regular schools. To ensure a smooth transition:

• Spandan provides hand-holding support to the new school and teachers for 3-4 months.

• This support helps the child adjust comfortably to the new environment and teaching methods. Spandan School has also established tie-ups with government and private schools, creating a supportive pathway for inclusion, making the transition easier for both children and parents.
