Special Educator (Jun, 2021
–Jun, 2024) at Aster mims hospital kottakkal
As a Special Educator at IMHANS (Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences), I specialized in providing individualized education and support to children with learning disabilities, including ADHD, dyslexia, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and intellectual disabilities. My role involved creating and implementing tailored Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) that focused on addressing each child’s unique academic, behavioral, and emotional needs.
I conducted comprehensive assessments to diagnose learning disabilities and developmental delays, collaborating closely with a multidisciplinary team of clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, speech therapists, and social workers. Together, we developed holistic strategies to ensure every child received the necessary support across all aspects of their life. I also worked closely with parents, providing guidance and training on how to reinforce learning strategies at home and create a consistent support system for their child’s progress.
In addition to providing one-on-one and small group instruction, I applied evidence-based teaching strategies to enhance skills in reading, writing, and mathematics while also promoting emotional well-being and social development. I regularly monitored each student’s progress, adjusting strategies and IEPs as necessary to ensure optimal learning outcomes. My work also involved developing and implementing effective behavioral management techniques to improve focus and emotional regulation, enabling students to engage more effectively in the learning process.
At IMHANS, I was deeply committed to fostering an inclusive, supportive learning environment where every student felt valued and empowered to succeed. I also conducted workshops for parents and educators to enhance their understanding of learning disabilities and provide them with tools to better support children with special needs. This role significantly strengthened my ability to collaborate with teams, create customized learning strategies, and provide compassionate, student-centered support.
This experience at IMHANS allowed me to develop expertise in supporting children with a range of learning disabilities, enabling me to make a positive, lasting impact on their academic and personal development.
