OUR PROGRAMS

Empowering Lives From Early Intervention To Independent Adulthood

At SIAC, we believe education is a lifelong journey. Our holistic programs are designed to support individuals at every stage—starting with diagnostic assessments and functional academics, moving through digital literacy, and culminating in vocational training for employment. We are dedicated to building the skills needed for a life of dignity and self-reliance.

More Than Just A Classroom

At SIAC, we define education broadly. Our holistic approach focuses on multiple dimensions of development from communication and social understanding to play and leisure. We strive to build on strengths and address challenges to help every individual reach their full potential, ensuring they grow not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well.

DIAGNOSTICS & SCREENING

Personalized Assessments For Tailored Care

Assessments are the vital first step in our care journey. We conduct comprehensive screening, diagnostic, and functional skills assessments to identify the unique needs of every individual . By analyzing strengths and learning patterns, we create personalized plans that ensure each person receives the right combination of support and intervention.

HOLISTIC EDUCATION

We are committed to facilitating a barrier-free environment that empowers individuals and their families through education, vocational training, and independent living support. Our goal is to be a catalyst for change, enabling every person to live as a fully participating member of the community.

DAILY LIVING

Mastering Personal Care And Domestic Responsibility

Independence starts at home. Our Life Skills program focuses on personal hygiene, grooming, and domestic responsibilities like folding clothes and organizing belongings .

We also emphasize road safety and travel training, ensuring students can navigate their community and public transport with confidence.

SOCIAL SKILLS

Building Confidence In Connection And Interaction

Autism often presents challenges in social understanding and abstract language . Our targeted interventions equip individuals with the tools to navigate social settings and form meaningful connections . Regardless of cognitive ability, we strive to help every student engage effectively with peers and the wider community.

TECHNOLOGY

Digital Literacy For The Modern World

In today's world, digital skills are essential for independence. Our Computer Program teaches students to type, send emails, use Google Maps, and manage digital documents. Beyond basic literacy, we offer certificate and diploma-level courses to validate these skills. As they progress, students build digital resumes and secure recognized qualifications, opening doors to future employment and modern communication.

SKILL DEVELOPMENT

From Pre-Vocational Training To Meaningful Employment

We prepare individuals for productive adult lives through our "Skilled Hands" initiative. Training ranges from office tasks like filing to creative production in our Sheltered Workshop, where students make herbal soaps, candles, and cold-pressed oils . This program fosters entrepreneurial thinking and provides a bridge to dignified employment.

Creating A Barrier Free World

Inclusion goes beyond physical presence it is about active engagement and mutual respect. Through our Inclusive Activities, we organize joint festivals, nature walks, and community visits that break down barriers. We strive to be a catalyst for change, enabling every individual to live as a fully participating and respected member of the community.
