FREEDOMS?

Dear Parents,

No one knows the child better than YOU!

Freedom here is the “stage/level” or “freedom a child experiences” in relating to the real world around them. Freedom defines the situations the parent and child face each day. We have defined 10 Freedoms.

Freedom 1 – Encouraging_Looking

•Child does not provide any eye contact.
•You feel like the child is in their own world entirely away from our world all the time.
•Child is unable to use the toilet and needs help for all activities.
•Child doesn't understand routine and resists a lot.
•Often stimming heavily and with extreme anxiety and stress which they have no control over.
•You are trying every possible means to connect with your child but feel you are unable to do anything with the child as you wish. You feel lost.

Freedom 2 – Simple_Expectation

FREEDOM 3

Usually, our parents engage with us for a couple of FREEDOM courses only. They become confident and manage the pathways ahead with that learning itself. We want you to learn, implement, and be self-sufficient.
