WHAT WE STAND FOR

Chairperson’s message









Dr. Rashmi Das


The Daily Life Therapy Method of Higashi has been a game changer in mitigating challenges across the spectrum of autism. Our pedagogy focuses on the characteristics of children with ASD in the design of educational methods. Mediating sensory hypersensitivities, communication deficits, difficulties in learning general subjects, parental guidance, strategies for development and reversing regression are the fundamentals of autism education of Higashi. Operable through repetitious practice and perseverative teaching in multi departments of Academics, Clinical Therapies (OT & SLT), Sports, Yoga and Health management, it has resulted in substantial acquisition of academic milestones, communication outcomes, sensory balance and regulation for our students.

It gives me enormous pleasure to share that our first batch of students will be taking their NIOS – OBE A Level (Grade 3) exams in February 2026. Across School levels – Montessori/Kindergarten, Elementary/FLN, Juniour High School/NIOS A, B & C, our Class formations of 1:1 teacher/therapist-student ratios, group education, creative co-curricular support innovative Teaching Learning Materials (TLMs), tech integration, usage of AI tools in stimulating attention is geared for measurable outcomes for executive functioning, conceptual learning, breaking out of restrictive behavior and expanding interests.


The key strengths of our school are – Infrastructure Facilities, Faculty and Service delivery model. Our faculty undertakes teaching on an unprecedented scale with a plethora of learning materials curated creatively in physical and digital formats. Synergistic Individualized Education Plan (IEPs) and Individualized Therapy Plans take into account variability, individual profiles, level of severity and differences in learning styles.

Our Education is purposed for academic competence, skill development, social independence and stable home life. We nurture personality development, productive values in work conduct. Coming soon is the Publication Division of Higashi. Watch this space.
