Counsellor cum HOD Special Education Dept.

I was responsible for monitoring both the behavioral and academic developments of students from Nursery through grade 12. I kept a close watch on students who consistently exhibited declining academic performance. These students were identified for further assessment to ascertain the challenges they faced in meeting academic standards and to address their specific needs. These challenges could encompass a range of issues, including emotional difficulties in managing increased stress, struggles comprehending class concepts, preference for skill-based subjects over theory, learning styles, and other obstacles. I conducted both classroom and one-on-one sessions to comprehend and manage children's behavior, devising strategies to foster positive changes.
