Occupational therapy (OT) is a branch of health care that helps people of all ages who have physical, sensory, or cognitive problems. OT can help them regain independence in all areas of their lives.

Occupational therapists in our school help with barriers that affect a person’s emotional, social, and physical needs. OT helps kids play, improves their school performance, and aids their daily activities. It also boosts their self-esteem and sense of accomplishment.

Occupational therapists at Nishtha Special School  work to promote, maintain, and develop the skills needed by students to be functional in a Home, school setting and beyond.
