Basking in the Success ... Taking knowhow outside Karnataka!!



The Nagpur Trip was extremely fruitful. We delivered a 3 day workshop on 17, 18, 19 December 2010. The Teachers, Paediatricians, Psychologits and Principals were very responsive and we enjoyed the interaction. This is just the beginning of a long term relationship with the Orange City!!

Special Session: The Institute is also holding a special 2 hour session from 3 PM to 5 PM for School Principals and School administrators. This session will focus on topics like: Setting up a Resource Room”,“Involving Parent Support Groups” and “Special Needs Personnel” etc.

The workshops will be conducted by Mrs. Chetana Keni, who is a Psychologist, Special Educator and Counselor, and Ms. Apoorva Deshpande, a Clinical & Counselling Psychologist.

Dyslexics are extremely unique, talented and creative people. If properly assessed, remediated and counseled they can be contributing citizens. The dyslexic has stronger ability to analyse complex ideas. They need love, trust, understanding and help from parents and teachers.

Apart from the teachers who will ensure a fair learning ground, the Psychologists play an important role by correctly diagnosing difficulties, improvising ‘Individual Education Programmes’ (IEP) and provide Counseling for each child. The Special Educators will follow the IEP, provide Remedial Education Services and work towards integrating the child in the Mainstream, Famous People with Dyslexia are Walt Disney, Leonardo Da Vinci, Einstein, Tom Cruise, Winston Churchill etc.

This workshop is an extension of our vision to be the guiding light in the lives of children with Dyslexia and equip them and those responsible for their upbringing. We endeavor to help Teachers and School Administrators to help them excel in the main stream along with all others.

The workshops will be organized at Hotel LB, Mount Road extn., Nagpur from 9AM to 5PM on the three days. For participation details, Mr. Chauhan may be contacted on 9226989792.

Both the workshops are being held in association with Rotary Club of Nagpur East and Sheikh Asgharali Hasanali Maimoon Charitable Trust, Nagpur; under their ‘Late Mrs.Khadija Iqbal Maimoon Memorial Project for Management of Dyslexia’
