We also succeeded in bringing modifications in each and every class by pinpointing the special talents of every individual student. Each classroom was made more colorful with chart and posters. Electronic toys with music, to improve the attention and free motor functioning were given to children at play. An action plan was very well planed in the beginning of the year for the better functioning. Occupational therapy was also introduced. Apart from schooling, every Saturdays, we take special class for the parents of severely affected children with various disabilities.

 

In each class a trainee was also kept to assist the teachers, thus improving our service to maximum.
