At Shama Foundation, we believe that every child, regardless of ability or background, deserves access to quality education that recognizes their potential and supports their unique needs. Our Special Education Program is designed with this very belief at its core.

Why Special Education Matters

Special Education at Shama Foundation

Children with developmental, cognitive, emotional, or physical differences often face barriers in traditional learning environments. Special education bridges this gap—offering tailored teaching strategies, adaptive resources, and emotional support that help these children not only participate but thrive.

At Shama Foundation, we don’t just see diagnoses or labels. We see individuals—each with their own strengths, dreams, and ways of learning. And we make it our mission to nurture that.

What We Offer

Individualized Learning Plans (ILPs) – No two children are the same. Our educators and therapists work together to create customized learning plans that are aligned with each child’s abilities, pace, and interests. We assess cognitive, emotional, motor, and communication skills to develop a plan that supports their growth holistically.

Certified Special Educators – Our team includes experienced and certified special educators who are trained in using specialized teaching techniques such as multisensory instruction, behavior modification strategies, and alternative communication tools (like PECS and AAC devices).

Therapy and Support Services – Learning isn’t just academic. Many children benefit from additional support to navigate the world confidently. We offer:

  • Speech Therapy
  • Occupational Therapy
  • Behavioral Therapy
  • Counseling and Emotional Support

These services are integrated into the child’s educational journey, ensuring a well-rounded approach.

Parental Guidance & Training – We believe education extends beyond the classroom. That’s why we involve parents and caregivers at every step. Through regular workshops and one-on-one sessions, we help families better understand their child’s needs and become active partners in their progress.

A Safe and Inclusive Environment

Creating a safe, accepting, and joyful learning space is our top priority. Every child who walks through our doors should feel seen, respected, and celebrated for who they are. Our classrooms are equipped with assistive tools, sensory-friendly zones, and accessible materials to foster a learning environment that adapts to the child—not the other way around.

Get Involved

If you’re a parent, educator, donor, or just someone who believes in inclusive education, we invite you to connect with us. Whether through volunteering, sponsorship, or spreading the word—your support can help us reach more children in need.

Together, we can empower every child to learn with dignity and confidence.
