CBSE has specific Guidelines of Inclusive Education of Children to ensure that no child with special needs is denied admission in Mainstream Education and to provide support through assistive devices and the availability of trained teachers and to modify the existing physical infrastructure and teaching methodologies to meet the needs of all children including Children with Special Needs.
In adherence with this our school has Special Educators who take care of bringing the children with special needs to the class standard. This mainly includes children with learning disabilities who exhibit erratic learning patterns, individuals who seem to be able to do some things quite well while struggling dramatically to perform other tasks. This mismatch between ability, expectations and outcomes can cause terrific disappointment and upset, resulting in a cascade of emotions and behaviours that can interfere with everyday functioning in school, at home and in the community.
Who needs Special Education?
A child requires special help when he or she is having any kind of academic difficulties that affects the child’s performance. There are many indicators which help us understand whether child needs special education or not. Some of the important ones are-
learning difficulties : in acquiring basic skills in school•emotional and behavioural difficulties–making friends or relating to adults or behaving properly in school•specific learning difficulty–with reading, writing, number work or understanding information
Sensory or physical needs : such as hearing or visual impairment, which might affect them in school
Communication problems : in expressing themselves or understanding what others are saying
Medical conditions : which may slow down a child’s progress and/or involves treatment that affects his or her education.

The Individualized Educational Plan (IEP)
Special education teachers help to develop an individualized plan for each special education student. The plan sets personalized goals for each student and is tailored to cater to the student’s individual needs and ability.
They work closely with parents to inform them of their child’s progress and suggest techniques to promote learning at home They are involved in the students’ behavioural, social, and academic development, helping the students develop emotionally, feel comfortable in social situations, and be aware of socially acceptable behaviour
