Our schools cater for children who are not only physically and mentally challenged but also those who are socially and economically deprived because they belong to that strata of life where they are completely ignored and do not get level opportunities.
We try to integrate differently-able students studying in special classes into the mainstream classes with children without special needs. Differently-able students receive special education and once they attain the requisite academic skill level, we integrated them into our inclusive classrooms or in a mainstream school.
• Activity-Based Learning (ABL) is adopted as an active teaching methodology.
• Individual Education Programs (IEPs) and Group Education Program (GEP) are adopted for differently-able children based on their needs and abilities.
• Pre-vocational & vocational training (depending on individual skill level) is provided to enable the child to become independent physically and financially
• Occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech therapy and counselling are provided to students at our Rehabilitation Department.
• Coaching in different Sports, participation in State level Para Olymics for Specially abled children
• Prayas works towards involving the students' families and getting them to participate in their future development to which end monthly Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTMs) are held. We strongly believe that only a holistic approach can take a child to a world of opportunities and thus awareness and active participation of parents are vital for the successful attainment of this goal.
