The Special Child Trust, a Delhi based not-for-profit organisation launched, the Autism Centre for Excellence (ACE) in 2014, to create a programme for children on the Autism Spectrum from ages 3 to 15 years. The programme, the first of its kind in India, is completely data driven, and based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).ACE utilises cutting-edge research and standardised educational practices to improve the outcome for children with moderate-to-severe autism. The core philosophy of ACE lies in the belief that individuals of varying abilities can be taught functional skills and communication to lead independent, productive, and rewarding lives as adults.Often, children with autism, who have moderate-to-severe needs, are unable to integrate into mainstream schools and classrooms. ACE plays a pivotal role in providing a curriculum that fits the needs and abilities of such children, and prepares them for integration and assimilation to the best of their abilities.
