What do we do?

In rapidly changing environment of 21^st century…… it is of utmost importance to promote the learning of reflective strategies to give students the confidence to become independent and long life learners. Weak basic skills should not become a barrier to understand one’s potential. To respect the aspects of Dyslexia and other Learning difficulties, to recognise the difficulties associated with it range from minimal to severe and to give them equal opportunities in life.

iSEN ensures that your kid has the right kind of support right from screening and consultation to effective learning methods.

SCREENING AND ASSESSMENT

Screening includes the use of reliable and standardised tests to identify the learning difficulty and the severity of the same. Early identification of the same is necessary to bring an effective improvement in the learning of the child.

At iSEN, we are able to screen children as young as 4 years of age.

LEARNING SUPPORT

iSEN provides the kids with an appropriate amount of learning support in the form of structured literacy plans which are tailored to meet subjective needs.

These strategies and skills developed in the individual literacy lessons are personalised, keeping in mind the strengths and weaknesses so that they can be effectively transferred to other areas of the curriculum. With the help of ICT, we also get an insight into the child’s metacognition.

TEACHERS' TRAINING

We ensure that the teachers are not only aware of the learning difficulties but also are well equipped in the identification of them at the earliest. With in-depth training of the teachers, we ensure that the schools acknowledge kids with LD and encourage more inclusive learning environments.

COUNSELLING SERVICES

Humans are equipped with basic strategies to deal with difficulties and most of the time we are able to fight against the odds. However, at times, our coping strategies no longer yield the expected results and during such times professional help is needed to get our life back on track.

Counselling is a safe space to hear yourself think out loud about your life, express how you’re really feeling and discuss concerns and worries with someone who won’t judge you. At iSEN, you can get the help of our professional counsellor for anything that disturbs your normal flow of life.
