Support to Family

  • Parent Counselling Program

We conduct periodic parent counselling programmes for parents and family members. Important features of the programme are :

  • To educate parents and help them understand their children’s level.
  • To help them realise their role and responsibilities.
  • To encourage parents to play an active role in their family.
  • To interact with other parents and share their experiences.
  • To provide counselling and guidance as and when needed.

Family Visits & Tour

  • Apart from these regular meetings, once in every term, special educators visit the parents at their homes and guide them on the right way of upbringing their child in the home situation.
  • Yearly once, we organise family tour for relaxation and spatial orientation for the children to various tourist spots and picnics are arranged for class-wise group families.

Sibling Support Service (SSS )

“Who after me?” is the biggest question that often arises often in the minds of many parents who have disabled children. Siblings should be educated and motivated to care for and love their brothers and sisters. Sibling Support Service ( SSS ) is initiated in the school to suit these inevitable needs. According to their age, the group is divided into three heads:

1). Pre-adolescent ( below 10 years )

2). Adolescent ( 11 - 18 Years )

3). Adult group ( above 18 years ) SSS organises various facilitating programmes for them.

The major objectives of SSS are

• Make them understand the nature of disabilities.

• Help them realize their duties and responsibilities in taking care of their mentally retarded brother / sister

•Provide guidance and counseling.

Training program for the parents & family members

Bethshan strives hard to educate parents and family members, as they spend a lot of time with the children. Bethshan provides various training programmes to help parents and siblings  understand and accept them. As part of our parent training programmes, we conduct Awareness- cum-Training Packages in Disability ( Intellectual and Developmental ) which is a collaborative programme of IGNOU ( Indira Gandhi National Open University, New Delhi) and Mother Teresa Women’s Univiersity, Kodaikannal.
