3. Booklets ( work books)

We are aware that we have shortage of self- learning materials and work books for our special students attending various services. It is important to motivate our children in self- learning with minimum support whenever necessary. This type of learning will help them achieve skills like decision making, choice making, self- advocacy, self- determination and so on. Therefore We Care centre planned to prepare a package of self-learning materials for children with special needs. We have completed the following 3 booklets which are in the press

  • The Self- Directed Remedial IEP (Swayam padana sahai – series -1)

 

 

 

We are aware that Individualized Education Program (IEP) is the globally used teaching method for special children including students with learning disability. IEP meeting is a component of IEP which is generally ignored. The role of the students in IEP is also important. In the self- directed IEP, the teacher stands behind the  scene and supports the students to set objectives, implement, evaluate and conduct IEP meeting in a group  of own parents and teachers. This booklet has a model of IEP meeting and a blank form which the student can use by himself by taking help from the teacher if required. Encourage the students to take part in the IEPs for better results.    

  • Short vowel sound, work book for remedial teaching(Swayam padana sahai- series -2)

 

 

 

 

Short vowels play an important role in reading and writing in English language. This work book is prepared for the young children to learn read and write vowel based words with pictures.

  • Self – determination scale for persons with intellectual disability(Swayam padana sahai- series  -3)

 

This booklet is meant for persons with mild intellectual disability above 14 years of age for self -checking, self- scoring and self-learning. The purpose is   to give training in self- determination skills.
