What is it about?

 No child should be denied the equality in education and the opportunities it provides, because of factors far beyond their control. Our constitution ensures equality in all areas to all law abiding citizens, education being the most important of all. There are students who face problems in learning and they are not equally accepted most of the time. They are mistreated in the classrooms and their problems are left unsolved. It is clear that just as there are ramps built at strategic locations for the benefit of the physically handicapped, invisible ramps of support should be provided for the learning disabled to overcome their invisible handicap.

Studies show that every classroom is likely to have two or three children with learning disabilities. Moreover, many of these special children are likely to have more than one learning disability (LD). The most common learning disabilities in classrooms are dyslexia (the inability to read or interpret lessons and symbols), autism (a neurological disorder in which the child has poor social skills) and attention-deficit hyperactive disorder. CIGI is here to provide support and help to the students in need. Our Learning Clinic established in 2015 is designed exclusively for children with learning disabilities.

Significance of the Project:

 In India, the LD movement is nascent with schools and education boards having made concessions for LD students less than a decade back. Popular Indian schools, even those in well developed cities such as Mumbai, still lack adequate special teachers to handle such children in classrooms. Experts working in the field also complain that the idea of inclusion - including children with LD in classrooms with other children who don't have LD - isn't being implemented in its true spirit. LD children still lose out, especially when they enter the critical Grade IX. According to directives to promote all children to the next class till Grade VIII, most children with LD manage to reach higher classes. But many of them are asked to leave the school in Grade IX due to poor scholastic performance. Thus clinical support for children with LD has become a necessity. But the clinics proving LD care are very few to count. CIGI makes sure no student is left unnoticed or unguided as we are here with solutions to all such problems helping you to identify and solve the disabilities as well as  provide with proper guidance.

How do we do that?

The following are the services provided in the CIGI Learning Clinic:

• Screening & Counselling for poor performers
• Clinical Childhood assessments
• IQ and LD Assessments
• Regular remedial coaching /Training
• Parent education courses
• Awareness and Training for school resource
• Course for teachers in management of LD

CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY

1. PRE-MARITAL COUNSELLING

Number of failed marriages is increasing day by day. What could be the possible reasons for unhappy marriages and increasing divorces? There can be many. But one of the major red flags in any relationship is the lack of understanding. Marriage is a huge step in every individual’s life. Married life is of course not a bed of roses, it has all the complications that come along when two people from two different backgrounds, having diverse tastes come together as a couple. This mutual settlement demands a great deal of patience, understanding, adjustment and commitment from both sides.

Here arises the relevance of premarital counselling. CIGI Premarital Counselling is a form of couples therapy that can help you and your fiancé prepare for marriage. This will reduce friction in married life and help in better understanding between the spouses. Our Pre-Marital Counselling Wing will help you have a better awareness of marital life before stepping into the path together.

2. FAMILY COUNSELLING

Lack of communication and commitment among blood relations is a common flaw of today's generation. People are shrinking into a world of their own which would eventually lead to fractures in family relations. CIGI is here with our family counselling scheme to help those in need.  Our counsellors will help you improve the flow of communication inside the family and thus develop a pleasant atmosphere at home. 

3. COUNSELLING & THERAPY

Trauma and depression are the trending words among the younger generation these days. Mental health is equally or more important than the physical health of a person which, left unnoticed, can lead to serious problems. Counselling or therapy is a way to help people with a broad variety of psychological and emotional difficulties. Keeping a track on one’s mental health is an essential factor which can be done by means of therapy. There is no shame in seeking expert help to address your personal issues or to check on your mental health. CIGI Learning and Better Life Clinic can be considered as a perfect option for such Counselling and Therapy sessions. Our expert counsellors will help you find yourselves and support in finding solutions for your most difficult problems. Do not hesitate to address your inner problems and talk about them
