Special Education and Counselling

Counselling Support
At DJHSH, we believe that emotional development is crucial to help students engage with the world. A team of counsellors work individually and in groups, with students from Nursery to Grade 10, and provide support for children with emotional and behavioural difficulties. Sessions on life skills including safety, team work, leadership, self-esteem, coping with negative emotions and dealing with exam pressure, are provided for all students.

Student Welfare
Our students come from various economic, social and academic backgrounds. As such, DJHSH has a wide range of interventions to cater to the individual needs of our students, including the Bridge Programme, the Remedial Programme, the Special Educator Program, the Mathematics Fundamental Training Programme, student/parent counselling and the Student Adoption Programme. DJHSH is the only school in the Nampally District that has a full time school counsellor, special educators and a member of staff responsible for student welfare. The school counsellor supports students who are experiencing emotional or learning needs and provides support when students face behavioural or mental health difficulties. Counselling is designed to enable wellbeing, help students develop socially in order to benefit student behaviour, attendance, and facilitate student achievement. The member of staff responsible for student welfare supports student conduct and follows up with their parents.

The Special Education Department
The Special Education Department consists of three trained special educators. They work to create informal assessments, individual education programmes and conduct remedial education for students with additional needs. They conduct screening tests to identify students that may require extra support. When required, students can attend various external assessment centres for a formal diagnosis. Both students and parents are given guidance on how to set goals and manage the students’ socio-emotional and learning needs.

Remedial Programme and Extra Assistance
Remedial interventions focus on building the student’s strengths, providing scaffolds during classroom activities to address gaps and supporting the student’s performance. 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.

Teachers are always available to support students with any worries they may have, inside and outside the classroom. They talk to them before and after classes, and carry out group and individual remediation. Remedial coaching is also built into the regular school timetable based on the needs of individual students.

Bridge Courses to Overcome Gaps
Due to different learning experiences and backgrounds, our bridge courses have been designed to help students improve in subjects such as Telugu for non-Telugu speaking students, English and Mathematics.

Special Needs Programme
DJHSH believes that all students should have equal opportunities to learn and succeed. A team of educators and counsellors caters to both the emotional and learning needs of children with special needs. Using individualised educational programmes (IEPs), resources and strategies, the team works together to help students to independently deal with the world around them. These educators and counsellors are determined to provide the students with a safe and supportive environment.
