G. Sayadevi

Jayam Special School

Jayam Special School was founded in Chennai by G. Sayadevi after the death of her brother Jayaraj, a child with intellectual disabilities whose mistreatment at another school convinced her that change was needed. It provides a safe, nurturing education for children with autism, intellectual disabilities and learning difficulties, assessing each child's motor and functional abilities on admission and coaching capable students through the SSLC board exams.

Jayam Special School reports the following, on its own site:

• Recognized by the District Collector, Thiruvallur, for a 100% SSLC pass rate.
