Special Scheme for the Deaf and Mentally Retarded, Kanigiri:

We felt that there is a need to start a special school in backward area, Kanigiri exclusively for children with Mentally Retarded and Deaf as there were no such institutions in that area. Considering this idea we started a school at kanigiri area in 2011-12. It is functioning on similar lines as the main centre functions at chimakurthy.Now, the school is having a strength of 25 children having 8 M.R and 17 deaf Children.

Home Visit:

The Home visits by our Teachers play important role to observe the behaviour of the child outside the school. Therefore, we insist our teachers to make home visit of all the children during the year and give suggestions to the parents for the improvement of educational skills and behaviour changes. Our teachers also appraise the parents to entrust some activity to their mentally challenged, Deaf children so that the children become self confident and self reliant.

Case Presentations & Case Monitoring:

Each Teacher has to present the case histories of 2 children every week. The reports shall cover all aspects of improvements in the child along with involvement of the family members and community and final observations of the teachers. These reports are placed before all the teachers on every Saturday for Group discussions. We will invite the opinions of the teachers for better planning and adopting innovative methods in dealing with the children of different abilities for speed improvement.
