Special Education

Activities of Daily Living

Abhyaas provide appropriate special education according to need of the child this process involve the individual educational programme (IEP) and systematically monitored arrangement of teaching procedure adapted equipment material and accessible setting.
Based on experience with numerous children, we find most children are able to learn these over time. The underlying challenges are usually poor communication skills, poor motor development, cognitive development or simply slow learning.
Based on specific and detailed assessment of a child’s capabilities and challenges, we employ interventional strategies for step-wise and gradual learning through intensive and repetitive training across all these activities of daily living in a healthy and hygienic manner.

Socialization

Human being is a social animal. He loves to be a part of community and shares the joys, sorrows and responsibilities among the society members. Most children with special needs struggle with societal norms and are poor in interpersonal relationship development and interaction with family & friends. We need to train them in order to develop relationship with others. They also learn how to behave in different settings and in front of different members.

Through socialization, they learn to be friends with others, follow group rules on different occasions, seek help from others and help others. Training in the area of socialization helps them to be a well behaved child in the family, school and community.

 

Academic Remediation

Academic achievement for special needs children is of great importance for them to achieve some semblance of normalcy. Parents expect them to continually improve in academics. Some children lag behind their siblings and peers in academics. Some students face subject-specific or unique challenges leading to overall lower achievement in academics. These students sometimes feel frustrated, embarrassed or low on confidence.
