INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
(PRERNA-The Special Education Wing)
"Our mission is to provide students who might be ignored or misunderstood in mainstream schools with a caring environment by engaging qualified professionals to nurture their potential and develop them into confident, contributing members of society".
The Special Education Wing has been renamed *Prerna, which reflects its motto, *“Wings of Motivation.”** Here, children with special needs are empowered to live independently and confidently within the mainstream of society while developing their individual potential. Prerna was established in 2014 and, within five years of its inception, earned a strong reputation for providing high-quality inclusive education to children with special abilities.
Students are mentored by highly qualified, full-time professionals, including occupational therapists, speech therapists, counseling psychologists, shadow teachers, and special educators who administer individualized learning programmes.
The objective of *PRERNA* is to provide quality education that promotes awareness and acceptance of children with different learning or emotional needs. The school offers an inclusive education programme for students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, and ADHD, as well as a differentiated learning programme for students with developmental delays and autism spectrum disorder. To this end, we have well-trained special needs teachers and expert therapists working with us.
Occupational therapists continuously assess students’ motor skills, eye-hand coordination, visual sequencing, and scanning using appropriate equipment and aids. Speech therapists help students overcome stammering and stuttering, and develop vocabulary and expressive language skills.
To fulfill the mission of delivering holistic integrated education, the school management has generously invested in academic, remedial, and co-curricular facilities. The compact campus offers one speech and language therapy lab, one occupational therapy and sensory integration gym, a library, an art room, three temperature-controlled remedial classrooms, audio-visual aids, a computer lab, a multi-purpose hall, counseling rooms, and a psychology lab for research and development purposes.
Counseling services are provided to both students and parents. During PTMs, one-to-one parent counseling is available by prior appointment. Workshops are conducted from time to time by renowned psychologists on current topics such as healthy parenting, guiding children in career planning, handling teenage issues, understanding individual differences, and gender sensitization.
