Background summary:

Working experience with the special children was very demanding yet extremely fulfilling. Children who have special needs and require assistance in leading a near normal life have always fascinated me not as a subject but on humanitarian grounds. I have worked extensively with teachers (and independently) to nurture their minds and bodies so that they can acquire semblance of self-worth and to equip them with basic knowledge and skills that lead to a normal life.
