    Ambuja Foundation empowers children with autism via sensory integration room

    Under its inclusive development program, Ambuja Manovikas Kendra in Ropar, Punjab has empowered 15 children with autism by establishing a new Sensory Integration Room.

    The facility, set up following a 2024 fund-raising campaign, provides a controlled environment to improve sensory processing, regulation, and communication skills for children with autism, while also supporting those with cerebral palsy and intellectual disabilities.

    The Sensory Integration Room features advanced equipment including bubble tubes, optical fibers, lighting effects, auditory stimuli, a wall climber, ball pool, textured panels, and outdoor sensory pathways.

    These tools stimulate multiple senses and help enhance motor skills, body awareness, and adaptive responses to everyday stimuli. Additional sensory tools such as fidget items, picture cards, and structured workbooks further support engagement and learning outcomes, the Foundation said in a statement.

    This initiative strengthens Ambuja Foundation’s commitment to inclusive and sustainable rural development. Ambuja Manovikas Kendra, spread across a 2.5-acre campus, has been providing special education, therapy, and rehabilitation services to children with special needs for over 25 years.

    “Ambuja Foundation is committed to the development of all segments of society. Through Ambuja Manovikas Kendra, we have been empowering differently abled children for the past 25 years,” said Chandrakant Kumbhani, CEO, Ambuja Foundation.

    “We set up the Sensory Integration Room to empower children with autism by providing a structured environment where they receive regulated sensory input and improve their performance.”

    SOS Children’s Villages India holds are workshop 50 vulnerable children at Kiran Nadar museum

    SOS Children’s Villages India on Friday organised an immersive art workshop for 50 children from vulnerable communities, held at the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art in New Delhi in a bid to encourage creativity, emotional expression and holistic development.

    The one-day workshop, led by the KNMA Education team, brought together children aged 8 to 15 from SOS Children’s Village Greenfields, Faridabad, and the surrounding local community, offering participants a transformative experience in an interactive art gallery setting.

    The two-hour session opened with a guided tour of the museum, where children were introduced to the significance and stories behind artworks on display. Guided activities and creative exercises followed, designed to encourage imagination, storytelling and emotional expression. Through painting and hands-on engagement, participants were encouraged to interpret what they observed and explore their own ideas and perspectives.

    “At SOS India, we believe every child deserves opportunities that help them discover their potential and express themselves freely,” said Sumanta Kar, Chief Executive Officer, SOS Children’s Villages India. “The art workshop with KNMA created a joyful and enriching space where children could explore their creativity, communicate their emotions and build confidence in their abilities.”

    Kar added that such experiences play an important role in supporting the holistic development and well-being of children.

    The workshop provided children with an opportunity to engage with art beyond conventional classroom settings. SOS Children’s Villages India said the initiative reflects its commitment to creating inclusive spaces that promote creativity and emotional well-being while empowering children to express themselves and thrive.
