SCHOOL COUNSELLORS

The school counsellors are specialists in Child Psychology and, therefore, play a vital role in the development of children who need special care or attention.

The counsellors identify such children and help teachers and parents to deal with these children effectively.

Parents may take help of the counsellors in case they find a change in the behavioral pattern of their wards.

The counsellors can also help in cases of learning disabilities, handling hyperactive children, slow learners and children with temporarily changed behavioral pattern due to bereavement/ illness in the family or due to some external factors.

 

 

LEARNING DISABILITIES

A child with a learning disability is said to `learn differently'. Early identification and remedial teaching using multi-sensory techniques help a child to overcome his/her difficulties to a very large extent.

Famous personalities like Isaac Newton, Winston Churchill, Leonardo-da-Vinci and Albert Einstein all had difficulty in learning to read and write. So it is of utmost importance that we not only help the child to learn differently but also identify his/her strengths and provide proper training and guidance so that he/she may excel in life.

We at City International School, ensure that all children get individual attention they deserve so that we may identify their strengths and challenges and work towards making each child a successful human being.
