Special Education

Special education is a specialized approach to teaching and supporting students with special needs or exceptionalities. We empower your child to succeed in school and reach their full potential. It involves a range of services, strategies, and resources tailored to meet the unique needs of students with disabilities. 

We provide special education to children with a wide range of special needs, including but not limited to:

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): A developmental disorder that affects social interaction and communication.

Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): It is a common disorder affecting focus, impulse control, and emotional responses.

Intellectual Disabilities: Characterized by limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior.

Learning Disabilities: Such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, or dyscalculia.

Global Developmental Delay: A child takes longer to reach certain developmental milestones than other children their age. This might include learning to walk or talk, movement skills, learning new things, and interacting with others socially and emotionally.

Emotional or Behavioral Disorders: Involving challenges in emotional regulation and behavior.

Sensory Issues: Such as visual or hearing impairments.

Our Special Education Services: These services may include:

Specialized Instruction: Tailored teaching methods and materials to meet individual needs.

Assistive Technology: Tools and devices that aid learning and communication.

Behavioral Interventions: Strategies to address challenging behaviors during remedial sessions.

Supportive Classroom Environment: Smaller class sizes, paraprofessional support, or sensory accommodations.

Related Services: Such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, etc.

Collaboration: Special education teachers often collaborate with general education teachers, speech therapists, psychologists, and other professionals to provide comprehensive support.

Parental Involvement: Parents are essential partners in the special education process. They are actively involved in the development of their child's needs.

Transition Services: As students with disabilities approach adulthood, special education may also include transition services to prepare them for post-school life, such as employment, higher education, or independent living.

Teacher Training: Special education teachers receive specialized training to work with students with disabilities, including strategies for differentiation, behavior management, and creating inclusive classrooms.

Progress Monitoring: Student progress is regularly assessed, and records are updated to reflect changing needs and goals.

Advocacy and Support: Advocacy organizations, support groups, and resources are available to help parents and educators navigate the special education system and access necessary services.

Our goal at ikshana is to ensure that all children, regardless of their abilities, have the opportunity to receive a quality education and develop the skills they need to lead fulfilling lives.
