Children with Special Needs
Save the Children India is glad to recieve your support this quarter.
As the academic year began, a new world of possibilities opened up for children with special needs. The atmosphere hit a new high as children returned back to school spending their vacations far from each other. There was a newness in air, contaigeous as it may seem, which cannot be explained in words or with finger alphabets. The noise, the footsteps, the screeching and the impromptu hoots of joy; we were all witnesses of it.
This year, we have 20 more children with special needs who joined school this year. We carry forward the same zeal at overcoming, step-by-step, each day, in letters and spirit, to creating new chapters in the lives of children with special needs.

Dear Friends of Save The Children India.
The academic year 2018-19 ended in this quarter, total of 238 children appeared for their annual assessment from the school and currently we find empty classrooms as children are currently on annual summer vacation. The school will reopen on 10th June 2019 and the team of teachers and administrative staff is working towards preparing classrooms and curriculums for the new academic year as well as sourcing stationary, uniforms etc. Save The Children India was desirous of getting a fresh coat of paint to the classrooms to welcome children in bright and new environment however it does not look possible this year due to lack required funds.
In the coming academic year, we will be welcoming 12 more children to our school and this wouldn’t have been possible without support of fantastic individuals like you.
We look forward to your sustained support in the coming years as well to make education and learning accessible to children with Special needs.

A special need child when born in marganilsed home does not get timely intervension and theraputic support needed more so if he/she is first generation learner. In India a child born with disabilty is looked down upon as curse due to lack of awareness and proper guidance, coupled with this financial constraints and good medical and educational facilities available in nearing where they live.
At Special Care Centre - School for children hearing impaired and intellectually disabled children run by Save The Children India 250 students are helped anually with their educational needs, therapeutic intervensions, nutrition and extra- curricular activities. They excel not only in academics but also in sports activities represented India at Special Olympics games internationally. The senior students are trained in skillful employable actvities and are placed in jobs.
In the last three months 13 of our hearing impaired students were identified and assessed by external experts for integration into mainstream schools, most of them at age appropriate level in regular school. For this our special needs teachers and counselors are preparing the kids and their family on smooth process. These young kids have been a part of our Aural - Oral Communication Program class. On the other end two students of our Intellectual disability section have been selected for Basket ball event at national level.
It is with your support and encouragement that this has been possible. These kids send their love and gratitude your side in this season of love.
Best Regards.
