A total of 96 children with communication disorders are all set to join mainstream schools after going through pre-school activities conducted by the All India Institute of Speech and Hearing (AIISH) in Mysuru.
A total of 108 children with communication disorders are graduating from the preschool for the year 2021-22 towards the path of success in mainstream schools. The remaining children have been recommended for partial integration with special support services.
“The high success rate of the preschool can be attributed to the fact that these children have been taught through a systematic curriculum and appropriate teaching strategies which meets the learning requirements of the children,” a note from AIISH said here.
