Home/ services/ Remedial Classes

MosMost children with special needs will require life long support services, even when admitted in mainstream schools. Though admissions to mainstream school are mandatory by law, most government schools deal with inclusion as a formality and do not provide appropriate services.  A few progressive schools where such children are admitted have high fee structures.  

     Thus, financial limitations, either in terms of lower socio economic status or heavy burden of fees prevent parents from seeking appropriate remedial and/ or support services to help the child deal with everyday problems. This inability results in poor coping skills and abilities, in turn leading to poor retention rate in mainstream schools. This vicious cycle can be broken only if remedial and/ or support services are provided without significant increase in the financial burden of the family. We have been fortunate to receive financial assistance to offer high quality services at very nominal charges.

The structure of the remedial class is as follows:

Educational Plan:

Days:                                    5 days in a week

Timings:                                9 to 11 AM, 11 AM to 1 PM,  4 to 6 PM

Age Group:                            7 to 12 years

Class Strength:                      8 children per class

Curriculum:                            Mainstream curricular and co-curricular work

Note: The remedial class aims to help a child with special needs remain in a “regular mainstream school”. At no point are we encouraging removal of the child from a regular school environment.
