The Special Needs Families (SNF) took its first step as a family when a group of families with special needs individuals resolved to begin a new chapter in the lives of the region’s special needs individuals. The first step in 2003 was motivated by a handful of parents whose aim was to achieve a sense of community for their special needs loved ones this family now stands at over 146 members strong. The first step of the SNF has now traveled (and continues to do so) a great distance. The SNF group now hosts its own center, THE SNF DEVELOPMENT CENTER, a center with the ultimate goal of integrating the special needs individuals into society as independent, motivated individuals. SNF aspires to better prepare its students for mainstream life via personal management, functional academics and society participation for leisure and vocational skill development.

The Special Needs Future Development Center focuses on empowering young adults with special needs. By offering personalized and professional support to students above the age of fourteen years, SNF strives to aid them in becoming self-sufficient, personally, and professionally.

Through focused assessment and creation of individualized learning plans, the Center prepares students to successfully navigate social situations and future endeavors. Trained teachers and clinical specialists work with each student to set academic and behavioral goals. The Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a written plan developed by the Center’s educators and specifies the students’ academic goals and the method to obtain these goals. On the basis of the level of disability, teaching methods can include individualized instructions, problem-solving assignments and small group tasks, as well as electronic teaching aids like iPad and audio-visual aids.

Provides a holistic learning platform to students through different departments that facilitate active engagement on behalf of the students thereby helping them unlock their potential and achieve as much independence as their abilities allow. The customised training program closely works with parents of these individuals by keeping them informed of their ward’s monthly progress and suggesting techniques to promote learning at home.

A minimum age requirement of 14 years is required to join the Center.

The admission process starts with our management conducting an interview with you and your ward. We ask for any previous medical records / diagnosis report and school reports. On the basis of the management’s decision the ward will then be asked to attend an assessment procedure with our team at the Center. After the evaluation of the assessment and a team discussion, the management will decide on the possibility of the student joining the Center. He/she will then be kept on a 10 day observation. On successfully completing all the above, with the satisfaction of both; staff and the student, we confirm the students admission at the Center.
