The school aims at identifying the disability as early as possible. We focus on all round development of intellectually disabled to build their self confidence, self reliability and self sufficiency. We endeavor to make all our students to become independent and productive members of the society. We adopt new educational techniques and novel teaching strategies based on Modern Psychological Principles. Individualized Educational Program (Curriculum) is developed for each child. The program includes Life Oriented Education. The hidden talent of the child is brought out to excel in his/her education. Periodical evaluation is done in order to assess and achieve the curriculum developed for the prescribed period. This helps to bring out the full potential of the child. Special therapies like Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Yoga Therapy, Brain Gym, Thirukkural Exercise, Sports & Games and Group Activities are part of the curriculum. The school provides appropriate training which assist to correct behavior in children suffering from Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) & Autism. Our main focus is to increase memory – visual and auditory, Improve attention, discrimination, basic communication, eye-hand coordination, academic, problem solving, decision making, perceiving, responding & social skills.

Thirukkural Therapy

Everyday evening Thirukkural therapy is given for 20 minutes. In this therapy, the students perform various physical exercises by reciting Thirukkural which contributes to the speech & language improvement, learning through comparison, imitation and memory development of the child.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy promotes health by enabling people to perform meaningful and purposeful occupations. These include (but are not limited to) work, leisure, self-care, domestic and community activities.

Occupational Therapists work systematically through a sequence of actions known as the occupational therapy process. The stages in the process are:

  • Referral
  • Information gathering
  • Initial assessment
  • Needs identification / problem formation
  • Goal setting
  • Action planning
  • Action
  • Ongoing assessment and revision of action
  • Outcome and outcome measurement
  • End of intervention or discharge

Our occupational therapists focus on maximizing functions in areas such as sensory issues, hand function, cognitive skills, ADL (Activities of Daily Living) skills, and vocational skills for children with special needs.

At present, the department is looked after by two Occupational Therapists.
