Neev’s parents

Our son Neev was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder when he was around three years old. He started his schooling at CADRRE at five years old and he will be turning seven soon. The past 2 years he has been with CADRRE, has been a great experience for him as well as us.

Neev has progressed consistently in many areas due to the hard work from patient, highly empathetic and well trained staff at the CADRRE. The structured environment at school, visual schedules and prediction helps him to reduce his anxiety tremendously and be regulated throughout the day. The communication which the staff maintains with the parents is highly efficient since it is very important as autistic kids struggle with that. We really appreciate the efforts from CADRRE’s side for that. Neev loves school and the smile and ease at which he  transitions to school is a very happy experience for us as parents.

CADRRE did the first annual school day last academic year and it was such a heartwarming experience for the kids as well as for the parents. Neev did his first group dance performance which was an overwhelming moment for us. He had lost his imitation skills when he was around 2.5 years old. A dance performance was something we thought he could never achieve. But CADRRE proved us wrong and many thanks to the entire team for that.

Apart from school related activities CADRRE gives a lot of importance to Autism awareness programs. The painting exhibitions conducted by CADRRE in 2024 and 2025 at different places in India is a good example. Another example are the awareness videos shared by CADRRE in various social media platforms, especially the short videos of students showcasing their positive aspects. These awareness initiatives create opportunities for the allistic community to know more about autistic individuals.

We are very fortunate that Neev gets to go CADRRE and looks forward to celebrating each of his tiny milestones.
