About the Programme
After School Program for Autistic Kids at Avishi Center
Avishi Center’s After School Program for autistic kids runs Monday to Friday from 3:45 PM to 4:30 PM in Uttarahalli, Bangalore. Groups are capped at 3 children to ensure meaningful participation, genuine peer interaction, and personalised attention throughout every 45-minute session.
The ASP is a structured enrichment program – not a therapy session. It does not include ABA or speech therapy pull-out windows. It is designed for school-going autistic kids who benefit from a purposeful, supervised peer environment after school hours, with activities that reinforce skills, build independence, and provide a calm social space between the school day and home.
Each session covers three areas: homework and academic support, social and life skills practice, and creative arts and crafts. The specific content within each area rotates across the week and month to maintain engagement while building skills consistently over time.
Why structured after-school time matters: Research from the Autism Society of America shows that structured, low-pressure social environments after school significantly support skill generalisation for autistic children. Learn more at autismsociety.org.

Which Children Is the After School Program Designed For?
The ASP is built for school-going autistic kids and children with developmental delays who benefit from a structured, small-group environment in the hours after school. It suits children who find unstructured afternoon time difficult, need homework support, or thrive with a consistent peer group and predictable daily routine outside school.
School-Going Autistic Kids
Autistic children often experience sensory and cognitive fatigue after a school day. The ASP provides a calm, familiar, low-demand environment with trusted adults and a small peer group — a much gentler transition than going straight home to unstructured time.
Children Who Need Homework Support
Many autistic kids find independent homework completion at home extremely challenging. The ASP provides guided academic support from trained staff in a focused setting, reducing the homework stress that many families experience every evening.
Children Building Social Skills
A small facilitated group of 3 is a safe space to practise conversation, turn-taking, and friendship skills. For autistic kids who find large groups overwhelming, the ASP provides the right level of social challenge — real peers, manageable size, skilled facilitation.
Children Who Thrive With Creative Outlets
Arts and crafts provide sensory input, emotional regulation, and a non-verbal channel for expression that many autistic kids find deeply engaging. The rotating creative activities make the ASP something children genuinely look forward to each day.
FSP Graduates Transitioning to School
Children who have completed the Foundation Skills Program and moved to mainstream school can continue their Avishi journey through the ASP, maintaining the structured peer environment they already know while settling into a new school routine.
Families Who Need Reliable After-School Structure
The ASP gives working parents confidence that their child's afternoon is productive, safe, and supervised by staff who understand developmental differences — not a generic childcare setting.
Programme Schedule
After School Program Schedule and Session Format
The ASP runs Monday to Friday with a 45-minute session from 3:45 PM to 4:30 PM. Each session is delivered to a fixed small group of 3 children, meaning consistent peer relationships, consistent staff, and a predictable routine – all critical for autistic kids.
📅 Coming Soon — Extended Slot
An additional session from 4:30 to 5:15 PM may be available from June 2025 depending on intake. Enquire now to register your interest for the extended slot.
👥 Groups of 3 — a clinical decision
Group size of 3 is not a capacity choice. Autistic kids and children with developmental delays benefit most from peer interaction in small groups where they can genuinely participate and be heard without sensory or social overwhelm.
What Happens Each Session
3 Core Activities in Every After School Program Session
Every after school program session for autistic kids at Avishi covers three structured activity areas. The specific content rotates across the week and month to keep children engaged while building skills consistently.
📚 Homework and Academic Support
For many autistic kids, homework at home is one of the most stressful parts of the day. The ASP addresses this directly by providing structured, supervised homework time with trained staff who adapt their approach to each child’s learning style, attention, and processing pace.
The goal is not just completing homework – it is building task initiation, independent working habits, and study skills that carry forward to home and school.
- Guided homework completion with structured support
- Adapted to each child's learning style and pace
- Task initiation and independent working skills
- Reduces evening homework stress for the whole family
🤝 Social and Life Skills
Social skills development is woven into every ASP session through facilitated peer activities within the small group of 3. Rather than practising scripts in a therapy room, children experience real peer interactions with familiar classmates in a low-pressure setting.
Life skills activities rotate across the week and cover practical independence skills relevant to each child’s daily life — self-care, organisation, managing belongings, and age-appropriate tasks chosen in consultation with families.
- Facilitated peer conversation and turn-taking
- Cooperative activities and shared projects
- Practical life and self-care skill building
- Rotating weekly themes covering a broad skill range
🎨 Arts, Crafts and Creative Expression
The closing block of every ASP session is a creative activity. Arts and crafts serve multiple purposes for autistic kids: sensory engagement, fine motor practice, non-verbal emotional expression, and the satisfaction of completing something tangible to take home.
Projects rotate across drawing, painting, collage, seasonal crafts, and cultural activities — achievable within the session and meaningful enough that children want to share them. This makes the ASP something children look forward to.
- Drawing, painting, collage and mixed media projects
- Sensory-friendly materials selected for each activity
- Cultural and seasonal themes rotated monthly
- Fine motor skill development through creative work
Why It Works
5 Benefits of the After School Program for Autistic Kids
Every design decision in the ASP – group size, timing, activity sequence, staff training – is grounded in what actually works for autistic kids after a demanding school day.
Reduces End-of-Day Overwhelm
Autistic kids often experience significant sensory and cognitive fatigue by the end of school. A familiar, calm, low-demand environment with trusted staff and a predictable routine prevents the shutdown and meltdowns many families see when children come straight home.
Builds Social Skills in a Real Peer Context
Social skills practised with real peers in a small, facilitated group generalise to daily life far more effectively than one-to-one practice. The group of 3 is large enough to be a real social situation and small enough to feel completely manageable.
Removes Homework Stress From Home
When homework is completed at the ASP with structured support, the after-school hours at home become genuinely restorative. Many families report a significant reduction in evening stress after their child joins.
Predictable Routine Supports Regulation
Knowing that every weekday afternoon follows the same structure, with the same peers and the same staff, provides a stability that supports emotional regulation across the whole day for autistic kids.
Keeps Avishi Skills Active After School Entry
For children who have completed ABA or speech therapy at Avishi and entered mainstream school, the ASP keeps the Avishi connection alive — the same clinically informed environment continues to support them through their school years.
Additional 1-to-1 Support Sessions - Coming Soon
Avishi is developing individual add-on sessions to complement the ASP for children who need targeted one-to-one support in specific skill areas. These sessions will be conducted with parent participation for skills that cannot be taught effectively in a group setting. Register your interest now and we will share details as they are confirmed.
