Abiliti was started with an urge to help children with learning disability (dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia) in 2008 by our founder Dr. Taruna Samnotra. She firmly believes that every child is unique and has hidden abilities that need to be explored. With proper remedial training and early intervention every child can achieve success.
The aim of Abiliti is to integrate children with special educational needs into the mainstream system.
To provide our services to a larger group of students Abiliti was transformed into a NGO in 2017 and named Abiliti foundation. Since then Abiliti has broadened its horizons and works with slow learners as well . Abiliti also caters services to children from Marathi medium of instruction and has also added one more feather in its cap by becoming the regional hub for assistive technology.
Abiliti foundation also runs a parallel school under the banner “ Lalit Samnotra Developmental School” (LSDS), for children with special needs who find it difficult to cope in the main stream schools. We firmly believe in inclusive education and the parallel school works towards the inclusion of these children in the main stream by using inclusive methods. We wish to set up a full fledged school with all therapies under one roof in the near future.
