Inclusive Education
Every Child Deserves a Classroom Where They Belong
Stepping Stones Center colloborates with inclusive schools across Bangalore to support children with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities as they transition into mainstream classrooms. By working closely with educators and tailoring support to each child’s needs, we empower every child to actively learn, grow, and belong.
Our Vision
We envision an Inclusive India where every child, regardless of neurological or developmental differences has equal access to quality education. Inclusion is not a privilege; it is a fundamental right. Our program bridges the gap between therapy and mainstream schooling, empowering children to succeed with dignity, confidence, and the support they deserve.
What We Do
We walk with families through the entire inclusion journey.
Our inclusive education services include:
- School readiness screening and placement assessments
- Skill based and curriculum based assessments
- Development of individualized Education plans (IEPs)
- Collaboration with schools to build inclusive classrooms
- Structured training and supervision
- In-class shadow teacher or aide support (if needed)
- Regular monitoring, review meetings, and parent trainings
- Coordination with therapy teams (ABA, OT, Speech)
Is This the Right Fit for Your Child?
Our program is open to all children who are ready to begin or continue their learning journey in a structured, inclusive school environment.
We welcome learners who:
- Are curious, engaged, and ready to explore the world around them
- May benefit from extra support, smaller class settings, or individualized learning strategies
- Are able to participate in classroom routines with some level of independence
- Do not currently display highly disruptive or unsafe behaviors that may prevent them or others from engaging in learning
Partner Schools in Bangalore
We work closely with inclusive schools that embrace neurodiversity and provide academic, emotional, and environmental flexibility.

Why Inclusive Education Matters
- Builds lifelong confidence and social connection
- Promotes acceptance and empathy among peers
- Prepares children for real-world group learning and independence
- Gives families a path beyond therapy into broader educational access
- Aligns with India’s Right to Education and National Education Policy (NEP) goals
True inclusion means shaping schools to embrace every child, not forcing children to fit into them.
