Independent Living Skills
Eilya Cooking Classes for Girls with visual impairment
At Eilya, cooking is more than a skill—it’s a gateway to independence. Our students with special needs step into the kitchen and discover a world of possibilities. The kitchen becomes a classroom where they learn to read recipes, measure ingredients, and communicate effectively while preparing meals.
Using innovative teaching methods like task analysis and multi-sensory instruction, we make cooking accessible and enjoyable for every student. The hands-on experience not only improves motor skills and problem-solving but also builds confidence and a sense of achievement.
Our cooking classes take an inclusive approach, with students actively involved in setting up the kitchen and planning meals. For girls with visual impairments, we’ve developed specialized classes that allow them to master culinary skills, showcasing their resilience and creativity. Each lesson empowers our students to take charge of their own lives, one recipe at a time.
Sports: Building Strength, Friendship, and Confidence
Sports at Eilya are a celebration of energy, connection, and growth. On our playing fields, students don’t just exercise; they thrive. Through games and activities, they experience the joy of teamwork, the thrill of achievement, and the comfort of friendship.
The physical benefits are clear—stronger muscles, better fitness, and restful sleep—but the emotional and social rewards are just as impactful. Participating in sports reduces stress, boosts self-esteem, and teaches valuable life skills like cooperation and perseverance.
By stepping into a new sport, students discover new opportunities, form meaningful friendships, and build memories that last a lifetime. At Eilya, sports are a vital part of nurturing well-rounded, confident individuals.
Eilya Money Matters: Practical Skills for Everyday Living
Financial independence begins with understanding the basics, and Eilya’s Money Matters program provides just that. Through engaging, real-world experiences, our students learn to manage money with confidence.
Each week, they venture to local shops, selecting items they need and practicing skills like paying at the counter, receiving change, and managing their wallets. These trips are not just lessons in currency—they’re lessons in independence.
By recognizing coins and rupee notes, understanding budgeting, and experiencing the value of money firsthand, students gain practical skills that prepare them for everyday life. The smiles on their faces as they complete a purchase tell a story of empowerment and self-reliance.
