Remedial Sessions
Education is a cornerstone in every child’s life, shaping their future and building their skills. Schools often have a mix of formal and informal expectations for students, from early grades to higher classes. While many children adapt well, others may struggle significantly despite putting in substantial effort. It’s easy to assume poor grades result from insufficient study time, lack of motivation, or persistence, but this isn’t always the case.Children can face difficulties meeting academic expectations even when they have the intellectual capacity to succeed. Effective learning relies on essential abilities such as planning, reasoning, attention, self-monitoring, and strategic thinking. When these underlying abilities are hindered, systematic intervention becomes necessary. This is where Remedial Therapy plays a critical role, helping children overcome learning barriers and achieve their full potential.
Remedial Therapy for Children Facing Learning Challenges
We provide individual tuition on a monthly basis. The sessions are structured to the individual’s specific needs and make use of the extensive resources available at the Institute. We recognize the importance of addressing both the emotional and academic consequences of literacy difficulty.
Our approach is a direct, explicit, multisensory, structured, sequential, diagnostic and prescriptive method of teaching literacy skills. This encourages independent learning and self-confidence.
When you choose us to work with your child, you will have a teacher who will always be there in your child’s corner rooting for him, guiding him, preparing and honing his skills to overcome, learn and engage.
What Is Remedial Therapy?
Remedial therapy is a specialized intervention aimed at bridging the gap between a child’s current performance and their expected potential. This form of therapy focuses on developing essential core skills, often referred to as the “3Rs”—Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic. It also emphasizes tailored strategies to support a child’s unique learning requirements. Sometimes referred to as developmental education or basic skills education, remedial therapy acts as a foundational approach to help children regain or improve their academic abilities.
When Is Remedial Therapy Recommended?
Remedial therapy is particularly beneficial for children who face challenges such as:
- Learning disorders (e.g., dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia)
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
- Intellectual disabilities or developmental delays
- Emotional or mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, or OCD
- Slow learners or children with spasticity
- Gifted children requiring support with analytical and logical thinking beyond the school curriculum
The Role of Assessment in Remedial Therapy
Before beginning therapy, a detailed assessment is conducted to evaluate the child’s challenges and abilities. The assessment focuses on:
- Identifying the Root Cause Comprehensive evaluations, including IQ assessments, learning disability screenings, and attention/concentration tests, help uncover the underlying issues. These findings guide the development of personalized goals that match the child’s intellectual and functional capacity.
- Determining Current Academic Levels Special techniques and strategies are selected based on the child’s current level of learning. Therapy may start with foundational skills such as letter recognition and sound identification and progress to advanced concepts like grammar rules and classification.
What Does Remedial Therapy Involve?
Each child receives an individualized therapy plan tailored to their specific needs. The therapy focuses on:
- Enhancing sensory integration
- Improving gross and fine motor skills
- Building vocabulary and conceptual clarity
- Developing logical, analytical, and organizational skills
- Fostering better social interactions
- Cultivating proper habits for overall development
