We try to accommodate the overflow of about 10 more students during the afternoon and evening OPD sessions. Students include both intellectually as well as physically challenged children.

At AMS we follow the motto ‘EVERY CHILD CAN LEARN’. Students are primarily categorized under two headings :- 1. Educable. 2. Trainable The Educable students from 0 – 6 years of age come under the Early Intervention section. In this section the teaching methodologies are modified for every student. At the beginning of the academic year IEP’s or Individual Education Plans are formulated. An IEP outlines the goals to be achieved. These annual goals are broken down further into semester goals and meticulous records are kept.
