Residential School
This is an initiative by the Charitable Trust ‘Buddhi Vishesha Chetanara Kalika Kendra to provide residential learning and development facility for slow learners and moderate to mild special children. The focus is on all round development including independence, sociability and special education.
The school is located in a calm and peaceful locality in Bangalore.
Why Residential School?
- Which is better? Keeping the child at home or sending him or her to a residential school ?
- You can always keep him or her at home. You can probably find tutors locally. But there's much more than just fixing the problem of not being able to speak, read and write. There are self-support and self-confidence issues. As a good parent you are likely to get into the trap of doing everything for him, ultimately snatching away the opportunities towards independence.
- It is a good option to send them to boarding school where he or she will have the kind of professional help and individual attention that is required. And 24/7 too.
Constant social interaction
- Students are always around their peers: in class, extracurriculars and in their living arrangements.
- As such, they have many opportunities to be themselves and express their individuality outside of formal class time. This sociability is extremely important for students with special needs, as they lack confidence or communications skills.
- Always being with their classmates will make them feel more comfortable than they would in a day school.
Taking care of yourself
- Many parents cannot resist being over protective, pampering their kids and spoon feeding. In contrast, at boarding school, children with special needs will learn independence and discipline. For example, he or she may have to do cook or clean. Indeed, at a young age, your kid could live both independently and safely.
Closeness
- Students with special needs often need extra/out of class attention. If you send your child to a day school, especially one that is not close to your home, you may have difficulty dropping him or her off early in the morning or picking him or her after hours.
- At a boarding school, your kid will live close to, if not on, the campus. Therefore, seeking help, a vital part of special education, will always be convenient and possible.
Extra-curricular activities
- After or before school programs are a great way to socialize and to hone a particular skill. Such a well-rounded education is a wonderful way in which to build the confidence of a child with special needs and to make school more enjoyable and less stressful.
We look after your gifted child with Love and care with a homely environment, day and night. It is managed by the Resident Head Mrs. Rekha D S who is a Special Educator having more than 13 years of experience in training & development of special children , slow learners and learning disabilities .
Normal food is served or as advised by the dietitian. Maximum effort will be given to make your child to manage the day to day to routines, like bathing, washing the plates, taking care of cloths etc.
The day of your child is planned thoughtfully as per the need of your child. Like a regular school, students will be in the activity area from morning to evening. During these learning hours , they will undergo special education, social and occupational skill development. Joyful learning through cycling, dance, yoga, treadmill, exercise and other fun activities will be positioned in between so that your child’s attention span is taken care of.
About
Buddhi Special School was established with a noble intention of training and development of children with Special needs and Learning disabilities. This center was started in Bangalore by the couple Rekha D S, who is a special educator and Krishnaraja Marakini, an IT professional worked for Wipro, MphasiS and Unisys. The couple are inspired by their son Arjuna who was born with Down syndrome.
Subsequently the Trust - Buddhi Vishesha Chetanara Kalika Kendra® ( ಬುದ್ಧಿ ವಿಶೇಷ ಚೇತನರ ಕಲಿಕಾ ಕೇಂದ್ರ ) was formed along with Sri Neelakata Rao, Senior Auditor and Sri Virupakshi Mysore, KAS, (rtd.) as founder members.
