PREPARATORY SCHOOL
The blind child is no
different except for the fact that he does not get visual stimuli and lacks experiences,
which are so obvious for a sighted child. Therefore, besides regular scholastic
activities, they are trained in reading and writing of Braille/script, activities of daily
living, environmental information & object perception, orientation & mobility,
physical fitness and recreation. |
|
Here, blind children in the age group 4-14 years are admitted. Duration of
the training at Preparatory ranges between 1 to 3 years depending on the child's prior
experience, level of understanding and ability to cope. A team of specially trained
teachers, a mobility instructor, a physical instructor, art, craft and music teachers are
working together towards developing the talents and potentials among the young blind and
low vision children with the objective to integrate them into the mainstream schools. |
