Sri Prashanthi Academy

OUR SCHOOL

A  non-profit and service-oriented Institution established to meet the needs of developmentally challenged students, to provide specialized education for students suffering from  Autism, Downs Syndrome, A.D.H.D, A.D.D.,  Speech or Language Disorders  and other  specific Disorders.  

Sri Prashanthi Academy is run by the parents of special children. The school aims to provide the opportunity for special children in Coimbatore to develop to their fullest potential.  Each child has to be considered as a unique individual with his/her own emotional, physical and intellectual needs. We believe that as a member of the school community, your child will learn to grow through sharing life experiences with others, by understanding and accepting the needs of the peer group members.
