MUSIC LEARNING FOR HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT AND SPECIAL EDUCATOR (DYSLEXICS) TRAINING
Completed the 'Special Education Teachers Training Course' , for teaching Dyslexic children, conducted by DIKSA , on Aug 21 nd, after 5 weeks. It was a good experience. After a little bit of deliberations, I decided to attend this.
DIKSA is a special education centre,a mainly catering to dyslexic children, in T. Nagar run by Mrs Sudha Chella, a Special Educator (for dyslexics) and runs a course for training teachers in the methodology of training dyslexic children, which runs to 5 weeks of full-day training, involving theory of methodology, psychology of learning, various aspects of early education like reading, writing, comprehension, math skills, etc, associated concepts of Phonics, and such areas, practical work in training the children at the centre, involving preparation of lesson plans, etc and also involves presentation and sessions from closely related special children centres, like autism, etc for a broader understanding of dyslexia and such disabilities.
The course was a great experience largely due to the dedication Ms Sudha and her structured and experiential approach, plus excellent support from the staff at the centre. The co-trainee teachers with diverse backgrounds, but all having a very good exposure to this field, and a keen interest to learn and participate made the course very effective.
This is the beginning for BILVAA's initiatives in developing tools and approaches in this field. Also, to work on my ideas on using music to help dyslexic children improve their learning capacities.
Pilot of 'Music Learning' for Dyslexics has been proposed to DIKSA.
