Whether it is pouring water, hanging laundry, or handling pretend currency, we focus on repetitive, play-based practice that turns these small actions into lifelong habits of independence. At Gurukul, our Activities of Daily Living (ADL) sessions are designed to move beyond the therapy room. We understand that everyday tasks like buttoning a shirt, organizing toys, or following a recipe are often complex for children, even when they look simple. That is why we use non-fire cooking to teach following instructions and safety, or simulated shopping trips to build basic money management skills. Each activity is broken down into simple steps, allowing your child to experience the joy of finishing a task. We believe in celebrating these moments, often with a 'Very good' or a 'Clap karo' to reinforce their effort. These sessions help children generalize what they learn in therapy to the real world, ensuring that they become more self-reliant at home. From watering plants to basic household chores, we nurture the functional skills needed for everyday living, focusing on progress rather than perfection. ## About Sankalp and Gurukul We are a team that believes every child has unique potential. We focus on personal growth rather than cookie-cutter exercises, creating a space where learning is always fun and every small victory is celebrated.
