Ground Therapy

 

At Zep we started with ground therapy for special children's physical fitness

There is tendency of weight gain in most of special need children. Regular physical exercise help these children to control excessive weight gain and to do their day to day activities in better way. At Zep as part of ground therapy we take children on ground for playing different sports like badminton, basketball, football, cricket etc.

We also conduct yoga session as part of therapy
