| Harmonious to our belief of paying individual attention to special children, we have adopted a unique style of teaching, enabling each and every child a chance to acquire and apply knowledge, skills and feelings in an immediate and relevant setting. This idea of extending the classroom from conventional borders to a real life setting helps our children to develop their communicational skills. |
|
It is in this context we have set up a small retail outlet within easy reach for the school staff, parents and students. This shop is an initiative to expose our children to real public interactive activities and impart basic knowledge for daily needs. Here, through interactive learning, our children learn to, |
|
|
Handle and maintain cash |
|
Weigh and measure items |
|
Stack, sort, store and sell products & |
|
Keep the surroundings neat and tidy |
|
Through this out-of-the-classroom experience, we could see our special children growing confident in interacting with the public. And sooner, they will be able to equip themselves to become a part of the society.
In addition to this, our special children are encouraged to do various other activities, which aim at bringing them a step closer towards attaining a meaningful place in the society. Some of the activities they undergo to help them lead an independent life include: |
|
|
|
|
Walking on and crossing a busy road |
|
Traveling in a bus or train |
|
Visiting a post-office, railway counter, filling forms according to special needs |
|
Going for a movie, having lunch in a restaurant with friends |
|
Going shopping to buy vegetables and fruits for staff, and for use in kitchen craft. Those with academic functionality will tender change and interact with the shopkeeper |
|
Locating houses by address and door number, using their knowledge of number concepts |
