Children admitted to ANBAGAM are tested by Psychologists and categorized into groups based on their mental development. There are two caregivers and one teacher for every ten children. The first stage of training focuses on essential personal skills such as brushing teeth, bathing, toileting and eating without assistance. Once past this stage, the children are taught to read, write and speak. They are trained to recognize and understand articles used in daily life. Examples include coins and money, colors, telling time and traffic rules. They then progress to vocational training to learn skills that can enable them to earn a livelihood. Training is imparted in dairy farming, poultry farming, agricultural farming, carpentry, cloth weaving, mat weaving, embroidery, tailoring, printing, composing, book binding and file making.

ANBAGAM imparts regular physical training to the children in a variety of games and sports as well as yoga and meditation. The children have performed very well in numerous sporting events for the disabled, and have regularly taken home gold, silver and bronze medals.

ANBAGAM has also opened five outreach centers for children in villages around Madurai.
