About Us:
Welcome to the ‘Special School of Joy,’ where we are dedicated to providing a holistic and progressive approach to education. Our philosophy revolves around nurturing the complete development of each child, with a strong emphasis on social-emotional intelligence, language proficiency, physical well-being, and cognitive growth.
We firmly believe that a child’s overall development hinges on their social and emotional intelligence. This includes their ability to comprehend and interpret social situations, respond appropriately, and exhibit interpersonal skills. At the ‘Special School of Joy,’ we offer our students ample opportunities to cultivate these skills through engaging group activities and tasks, fostering self-awareness and social adeptness.
In the realm of language development, our students benefit from personalized Speech and Language Therapy sessions. These sessions cater to enhancing their communication and swallowing abilities, with techniques tailored to suit the child’s age group and specific requirements.
For physical development, we meticulously craft individualized plans for each student. These plans encompass activities that promote body awareness and facilitate limb movement, facilitated through Occupational and Physical Therapies.
Cognitive development is another cornerstone of our educational approach. Our skilled specialists work diligently to nurture intellectual abilities such as critical thinking, reasoning, and comprehension. We focus on honing skills in independent problem-solving, encompassing both gross motor (e.g., jumping, catching) and fine motor (e.g., block building, copying) skills. Cognitive perceptual skills, language proficiency (including answering personal questions), articulation, and the grasp of fundamental concepts such as counting and naming body parts are all integral components of our curriculum. Additionally, we emphasize self-help skills, including feeding, grooming, hygiene, and dressing, as well as compliance with adult instructions. Our sensory integration techniques, group discussions, and training in activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) all contribute to a comprehensive developmental experience.
These five key developmental areas are intricately interrelated, with progress in one area significantly impacting the others. Therefore, in addition to imparting formal academic skills, we focus on empowering our students with competence in independent problem-solving.
At the ‘Special School of Joy,’ our approach is holistic, ensuring that we nurture the whole child rather than merely addressing their academic weaknesses.
