Special Education and Counselling

Counselling Support
At DJHSM we believe a student's emotional development is critical for them to engage with the world. We have a team of counsellors that work individually and in groups, counselling targeted students from Nursery to Grade X. They provide support to children with emotional and behavioural issues. Both teachers and parents are guided to support the child in an adequate manner. Life Skills sessions are conducted across the grades to enhance the skills of safety, team work and leadership skills, self-esteem, coping with negative emotions, dealing with exam pressure and much more.

The Special Education Department
The Special education departments consists of three trained special educators. They work to create informal assessments, Individual Education Programs and conduct remedial education for students with special needs. They conduct screening tests in various grades to identify students that may have additional needs. They also guide parents to set realistic goals to manage their children's socio-emotional and academic needs.

When required, students with difficulties are guided to various assessment centres for a formal diagnosis. Both students and parents are supported to develop an understanding of how to manage any additional needs. They are also guided to assessment centres for formal certification of a learning disability, to avail concessions in the school exams as well as the 9th and 10th grade board exams.

Remedial interventions focus on building the child's strengths, providing further support during classroom activities to fill the gaps and supporting the student to perform effectively in their perceptual, academic, planning, organizational and study skills.

Special educators also conduct regular workshops and webinars for other teachers and parents to disseminate knowledge and share useful strategies to create an inclusive environment at home and at school. The school's special educators and counsellors are determined to provide students with a safe and supportive environment.
