Anurag Society for Special Needs was established to be a community anchor for families navigating autism in India. We are not simply a school — we are a movement for awareness, acceptance, and access.

Our programs blend internationally recognised methodologies with deeply Indian values — understanding that the family is the first and most important teacher. We honour the RPWD Act, 2016 in every program we design.

Inclusion over assimilation — we celebrate difference.

Family involvement is central to every program.

Support in Hindi and regional languages — language is never a barrier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Autism is not a disease — it is a neurodevelopmental difference. It cannot and should not be 'cured.' The goal of support is to help autistic individuals live fulfilling, independent lives on their own terms, not to make them neurotypical.
Early intervention before age 5 has the greatest impact, but diagnosis is beneficial at any age. If you notice differences in communication, social interaction, or sensory responses, consult a developmental pediatrician. We can help connect you with diagnosticians across India.
Most community programs, awareness workshops, and parent resources are completely free. No family is ever turned away due to financial constraints.
Yes. We provide resources in Hindi and English currently. However language would never be a barrier to getting support.
