SOPAN’s Suvidya College of Special Education
NAAC Accredited
Mission : “To prepare knowledgeable and effective teachers for education and training of children with autism and associated disabilities.”
Human resource development is an important component of disability rehabilitation. Suvidya College of Special Education, affiliated to University of Mumbai, was established by SOPAN to meet this need. Our overarching goal is to conduct teacher preparation programs. Since autism intervention and education is relatively new in India, there is a felt need for qualified and competent teachers to work with children with autism and associated conditions in inclusive and special schools.
In keeping with the continuum of teacher preparation, Suvidya runs both initial teacher preparation and continuous professional development programs in special needs education. Additionally, it also conducts capacity building programs for family members of persons with disability, and the community.
