The term inclusion is a policy to ensure that all
children regardless of ability are mainstreamed into
classrooms and become part of the school community

7. Our Target – More Inclusive Class rooms.
An inclusive classroom is
• Wonderful place to teach respectful behaviour, and
tolerance, which is a lifelong skill
• Codes of equality and awareness
• A caring atmosphere and a place which every child
can enjoy.
• And where the differently abled child is an integral
part of the classroom.

and counselling experts partner with mainstream educators
to address this challenge.
• We customize a program to facilitate Inclusion.

between the actual performance and expected performance.

reached, while working in the classroom.

gets individual attention, while being a part of a normal school
setup.

customized to individual needs

11. Referral Program.
Some schools refer the children to our centre, where
the children come after school hours and support
programmes are conducted at the centre.
Regular feedbacks, conferences with teachers and parents
and regular reporting systems, reviews and planning are
very much a part of the partnership programme with the
school

12. Consultancy Program.
Schools often have their own team of special
educators and counsellors.
These schools may need specialised support to
streamline the process of identification,
assessments, parent counselling, reporting and
review systems, and in formulating Individual
Education Plans.

The association between We Can and La Martiniere for Boys has been quite
satisfying and rewarding. Some of our students with difficulties in learning and
retention have benefitted greatly from their remedial classes and this has
increased their confidence and motivation. It takes great courage to change
tradition and forge new paths by thinking differently; We at La Martiniere will
continue to do so, with help from organizations like We Can. Your services and
friendship are greatly appreciated.
