Support Our Divine Children

Our services

Three quiet acts of care. Every day.

Special education, health care, nutrition — the three pillars that hold up every child who walks through our gate.

Special education at Black & White Autism School
Pillar I
Special Education

§ 01 — Special Education

Teaching slowly, kindly, completely.

Our classrooms are small and unhurried. Each divine child has an individualised learning plan shaped by our teachers, therapists and their family — because no two children learn the same way.

01.

Individual learning plans

Goals built around each child's strengths and sensory needs.

02.

Speech therapy

Patient, structured sessions to grow every child's voice.

03.

Occupational therapy

Daily living skills, fine motor work, and sensory integration.

04.

Life & land skills

Cooking, gardening, washing — learning to live, fully.

§ 02 — Health Care

A clinic that comes to the village.

Every month, a team of visiting doctors, dentists and therapists sets up a free health camp at the Madhupur campus — open to our divine children, their mothers and the surrounding community. No charge. No queue. No questions.

  • 01
    General medicine

    Routine check-ups, fever, infections, preventive care.

  • 02
    Dental care

    Basic dental check-ups, scaling, extractions when needed.

  • 03
    Maternal health

    Gentle check-ups and support for the mothers of our divine children.

  • 04
    Specialist referrals

    When more is needed — neurology, paediatrics, psychiatric support — we arrange the onward journey.

Health Care
Nutrition and communal meal
Pillar III
Nutrition

§ 03 — Nutrition

Food as medicine, as ritual.

We grow much of our own food on the land surrounding the campus. Daily meals are balanced, unrushed and eaten together — mothers, children and teachers at the same long table.

01.

Daily balanced meals

Three meals a day, prepared on-site with seasonal ingredients.

02.

Nutrition training

Workshops for mothers on diets that support autistic children.

03.

Own-grown produce

Rice, pulses, vegetables and fruit from our community land.

04.

Shared table

Meals as a calm, daily ritual of belonging.

§ 04 — Monthly window

§ 05 — A child's journey

From first visit to belonging.

First conversation

A phone call or a visit to the Dhaka office. We listen, without a form in hand, while the mother tells us about her child.

Campus visit

A day at the Madhupur campus. The child is met, not assessed. Teachers watch, the child plays, the mother sees.

Plan & placement

A gentle, individualised learning plan is drawn together, and the child begins — part-time or full-time, depending on family.

Long-term care

Monthly health camps, daily meals, steady education. The child stays with us for as long as the family wishes.

§ 06 — Questions

Answers before you ask.

Nothing. Our schooling, meals and monthly health camps are provided without charge. Families who can give, do — and those who cannot are welcomed exactly the same way.
Our programmes are primarily for children aged 3 to 18. The foundation's long-term vision includes continued support into adulthood within the Autism Village.
No. Many families who come to us have never seen a specialist. We welcome the child first and help arrange assessment if it is useful for their care.
Yes. Mothers are always welcome during the day, and we have limited overnight accommodation for families travelling from far. As the Autism Village grows, long-term housing is being built.

Come closer

Bring a child. Or bring your hands.

Whether you are a mother searching for help, a therapist with a month to give, or a friend with a small blessing — we are ready to meet you.
