The Doogri Institute, located in San Diego, CA, is a center for forthright scholarship and research in the field of autism and developmental disabilities. They offer a unique approach called the Doogri Method, which aims to evaluate students' literacy and potential while supporting their awareness of their abilities profile. Through consultations with autistic professionals, they strive to empower individuals to become culturally autistic self-sufficient adults, focusing on their wellbeing. The institute also provides professional training, direct services, and creative and expressive arts programs to individuals who are disadvantaged by disability and family privilege, with the goal of bridging the gap to mainstream culture and higher education. The Doogri Institute Center for the Arts, a division of the institute, offers online programs for students of all abilities, including piano lessons, community orchestra, integrated peer recitals, and karaoke. Families with self-direction eligibility may use their budget to pay for the tuition and fees. Additionally, the institute offers training to become a licensed developmental music educator, catering to individuals from various occupations and stages of life who are interested in teaching piano. Their research and advocacy team consists of scholars and leading experts in the field, and all their programs are augmented by lived experiences, aiming to empower individuals and promote self-actualization.Generated from the website
