Language

Skills

Speech Therapy

These children usually have poor communication skills.

They need to be taught how to communicate within their
capabilities to express themselves with less difficulty. By giving
them suitable exercises, they are carefully trained to use their
lips, mouth, tongue, cheek and throat.

Fine Motor Skills

Delayed motor development is a problem with all the children.

With constant and persistent practice using their fingers and
hands, they may become more able to attend to their personal
needs. This includes eating, grooming, bathing, dressing and
playing with toys etc.

This enables them to become more

independent and helps them to carry out tasks such as painting,

drawing, making crafts and household decorations.

Pre
Skills

-Vocational :

Children who are severely disabled and who cannot attain a

suitable level for academic training are provided with vocation
skills.

Basically they are taught to make phenyl, cleaning

powder and other cosmetics, and also trained to make marketing

products such as paper cup in different models and other
activities.

The girls are taught tailoring, basket making,

preparing greeting cards using craft materials, cutting vegetables,

washing , and training in house decorating.

This gives an

opportunity for these children to become more independent and

self-sustainable in the future.

Vocational Training :

Children called to fit in the category of trainable are being

trained in various vocational skills such as preparation of
Papercups, candles, Agarpathy, newspaper covers and mufflers.

We thank you in advance for your generous mind of good co-operation. Please do not
hesitate to get me for any question you may have.
With kind regards,
