Who We Are |
|
 |
|
One of the most challenging aspects of teaching a child with special needs
is the realization that this child has come to our centre with a mission
which we will be a part of. It is for us to discover this and serve the
child in our journey together.
The programs offered by V-Excel Educational Trust are designed to address this.
In understanding that education can be healing, we have a variety of things to
offer under our umbrella organization. Making every moment of teaching alive and
real for the children, different therapies, assessments, support systems such as
counseling and psychotherapy, medical services, remedial programs, advocacy for
equal rights, full inclusion in society, independent living, self-determination and
employment.
We have a team of dedicated, motivated and committed teaching staff, who aim to
work with the child as their centre and serve in the best interest of the childs needs.
Our goal is to help families understand and accept their life situation and make
the best of it and to overcome obstacles to social access and employment for persons
with special needs.
We are a non-profit, non-religious, non-sectarian and non-discriminatory organization
based in Chennai, India.

Our Work with Special Children
Success Stories
Affrin is an eight year old, bright-eyed and friendly child with Autism
Spectrum Disorder. She had major difficulties in social, emotional and communication skills.
She was a non-verbal child and was barely able to communicate.
With regular Occupational Therapy and other intervention methods, Affrin showed good progress
during the year. Her sitting tolerance improved and she can now sit through group activities and
take instructions. She follows the school routine. She has learnt to respond to greetings and to
express her needs through cards and pictures and sounds. From being a child with minimal writing
skills, she is now in a position to write independently, thanks to occupational therapy.
She has made great progress is in the area of academics. Her reading and writing
skills have improved and she is motivated to know and learn more. We are working on improving
her comprehension. Affrin was put on a structured program in computers to develop keyboard
familiarity, reading and spelling.
Today, with a lot of movement therapy, her verbal skills have improved and she has a number of
words in her vocabulary. She is also able to communicate her needs through verbalization, to an
extent where she can emote and convey her happiness or sadness.
