This unit has 3 divisions
Students in this unit are taught using hearing aids and they communicate through speech reading, syllabification, and oral aural approach. This year all the students were taught via virtual modes which was an added challenge. Students were taught their respective subjects via video calls and worksheets were shared with them. Students completed their class works and sent them to the class teacher for correction. They also participated in all co curricular activities including games, yoga and music. To enhance their motivation, students were asked to engage in household chores that will help them to develop skills for independence. They spent quality time with parents and learnt to cook simple dishes during the lockdown.
We have the facility of package programmes for those children who cannot take the daily therapies due to the distance and other factors. To cope with, we provide them with therapies for three to five consecutive days and home based strategies are provided to the parents as a part of the therapies.
