SpEd@home launched their first pilot program during the pandemic. The pilot program was carried out to understand the awareness and acceptance of online education for special needs. It identified the viability of 1 to 1 education for children considering that most of the parents complained that they weren’t able to perform along with the rest of the class all through the online education that happened during covid. Four advance programs were initiated later which brought a significant improvement in the children’s reading and spelling abilities, also in number sense and data handling.
Speaking about the pilot program, Dr. Dhaval Mody – Founder & CEO, SpEd@home, expressed, “Though most of the children in the pilot that we worked with were able to participate socially and emotionally, there were some who expressed disruptive behaviour. They either had difficulty in compliance, or difficulty in their level of functioning independently and some would often be more defiant and express disruptive behaviour by switching off the monitor or refusing to respond.
Adding to it, Aysel Engineer – Co-Founder, SpEd@home, said, “To support such children we devised a tabletop Occupational Therapy assessment as well as tabletop Occupational Therapy services. With that in place, we saw a significant reduction in these children’s disruptive behaviour and in the subsequent 6 months we saw improvement in these children.”
Speaking about the further actions, Supriya Das – Co-Founder, SpEd@home, expressed, “We decided to enhance our services and we started providing Occupational Therapy equipment to children with special needs right at their homes. This improved the engagement by 40% and we got better results even up to 30% in these children. All of this helped in forming the journey of SpEd@home and how our services could be delivered.”
