Special Education Services in Trivandrum
The Special Education Department at Vaidyasala, Sri Dhanwathari Ayurveda Hospital, Trivandrum—a place where every child’s potential is nurtured with care and expertise. At Vaidyasala, we believe that every child is unique, and so is their path to learning. Our Special Education program is thoughtfully designed to support children with a wide range of challenges, including learning disabilities, developmental delays, behavioral issues, and other special needs. With a strong foundation in compassion, clinical expertise, and evidence-based practices, we help each child realize their full academic and social potential.
Our Approach
Our multidisciplinary team—comprising special educators, therapists, and child psychologists—works closely with families to create Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) tailored to each child’s specific needs. Every child undergoes a comprehensive evaluation, guided by our experienced medical team. Based on the diagnosis, we formulate customized goals and interventions to ensure meaningful progress in both academic and personal development.
What sets us apart is our integrative approach, which includes:
- Thorough assessments and early intervention strategies
- Holistic treatment plans combining internal Ayurvedic medications, Panchakarma therapies, and intensive educational therapy

Our learning environment is structured yet nurturing, providing a safe space where children feel understood, respected, and motivated to grow.
