Our Journey with Cozy Cot Special School
Varun has Down syndrome. He is a very calm and innocent boy. My biggest worry was that he could not judge people or situations around him. He would not complain even if someone hurt him, and I was concerned about his safety and ability to protect himself.
Our journey with Cozy Cot Special School has brought about a remarkable change in him. Today, Varun not only understands that nobody should hurt others, but he also teaches other children not to hurt anyone and encourages them to seek help if someone is hurting them. This change means a lot to me as a parent.
Varun joined Cozy Cot at a very young age, and he continues to be a part of the school to this day. Over the years, I have seen him grow in his ability to judge situations, make sensible decisions, and express himself clearly. In an emergency, he can dial a phone number, write and tell his home address, and count objects. These are essential life skills that make him more independent and confident.
What I particularly appreciate about Cozy Cot is its emphasis on functional academics. Education is not limited to reading books, writing, or solving mathematical problems. Children also need to learn how to manage everyday situations, communicate their needs, make decisions, and stay safe. Even when a child finds conventional academics challenging, learning functional skills can make a tremendous difference in their life.
I regularly see Varun participating in various activities shared in the school groups. Every time I watch these videos, I find him learning something new, taking part in different tasks, and enjoying the process of learning at his own pace.
As a parent, my greatest satisfaction is seeing my son become more aware, capable, and independent. Cozy Cot has helped Varun develop skills that go far beyond textbooks and prepare him for real-life situations.
