Special children( students with learning disability, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, slow learners etc.) are identified by Class Teachers using a referral form. The school counsellor after analyzing the referral form, observes the child and identifies the need for counselling or special education for the child and accordingly ensures the intervention. The special educator in conjunction with the school counsellor makes individualized educational programmes and maintains a cumulative case history record of the child. Regular meetings with parents inform them about the progress of the child.

b) Counselling for Teachers : Workshops are organized for professional enrichment of faculty members as well as to sensitize them to various issues pertaining to students, such as identification of special children, behavioural concerns etc.
