Special Education Needs
Special Education Needs (SEN)
At TRIO WORLD ACADEMY, we believe in inclusive education. The SEN Department in TWA comprises Special Educators, who are specialised in Specific Learning Difficulties (SLD). We also have a Psychological Counsellor to take care of a child’s psychological needs. We have embraced the ideology of educating our children in our mainstream classroom situation. We offer inclusive education through partial or full classroom inclusion, depending on the individual need of every child. All children are part of their homeroom in academics, P.E, ECA, Creative Learning activities to the best possible extent, as our mainstream teachers follow the method of differential teaching.
Students with SLD are nurtured by qualified and experienced special educators whereas their needs based Individual Education Programmes (IEPs) are developed by the SEN team. Based on the child’s present level of function, a tailor-made curriculum is adapted by the SEN Department which addresses the child’s Academic, Socio-emotional and behavioural needs.
Language development and social functioning are two major areas which are taken into consideration while developing an IEP.
The Special Educators work on skill-based areas and provide class support to the SEN students, where they observe the child and provide constant support and feedback to homeroom and specialist teachers. We arrange external counsellors and special educators in the beginning of the academic year and undertake professional development for the teachers on how to handle the SEN students in their regular classes. The school sensitises the community on regular basis. We arrange shadow teachers for the severe needs of SEN students who require 1:1 support. We identify new referrals of SEN students within the school and provide support.
Note – Admissions are subject to seats available in the respective Grades for SEN students.
