Special education is a program designed for children with special needs i.e. children whose overall development in terms of physical, cognitive and cognitive skills have delayed and have placed them behind their peer group. Traditional classroom environment does not suffice to cater with the requirements of children with special needs therefore special education is specially designed instruction, support and services meeting the requirements of individual child to meet their unique learning needs.

All activities within the day programme work towards goals set out in each child’s Individualized Education Programme (IEP). Activities are designed to work on communication goals, whether they be receptive or expressive, verbal or non-verbal, social skills, motor skills, behaviour goals, and independence, at levels appropriate for each child.

Every child attending the school is evaluated under special education process and separate file is maintained for each of them. This evaluation includes assessment of the child in all areas related to the suspected disability. The evaluation result thus is used to decide the child’s eligibility for special education and related services and decisions about appropriate educational program for the child.
