Finding the right school for your loved one is never a simple matter. Even more challenging is to find the right education provider for children who have physical, emotional or learning differences—or special needs children— that may struggle in traditional academic settings. Some find it hard to communicate both in writing or orally, others have difficulty staying focused, and some children struggle to get along with their friends. In these cases, parents may find it beneficial to send their children to schools specifically designed to address the needs of children with special needs.
For Reshma Bhojwani, founder and owner of Saraswati Learning Center, a school for children with special learning requirements, caring for her 7 year old down-syndrome has obviously been challenging but in the same time, a rewarding experience. “I was able to strive and become a better mother. It has made me who I am today.” Most importantly, Reshma felt she has been able to get the best out of her daughter. “So I thought to myself, if I can help her, why I can’t help other children?” From here, the Saraswati Learning Center was established, with a vision to get the best out of children with all abilities, through an out of the box system that is personalized to each kid.
Saraswati Learning Center’s aim is to create the future of tomorrow’s children, by believing each and every individual’s hidden skills, with a vision and mission to extract the best out of the best in each of them to enhance and grow and shine as part of the community. The school accepts all children with Autism, ADHD, ADD, Global Development Delay, Speech Delay, Down syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and other related syndromes.
Individualized Timetable Plan
When a child comes in to Saraswati Learning Center, he or she will go through a psychological assessment. From there, the child’s needs and the type and frequency of therapy services needed, can be identified. It can also be decided whether the children able to enter the educational system, and what additional skills the child needs. From there, an Individualized Educational Plan can be created.
What makes Saraswati Learning Center particularly unique is the flexible and self-made timetable that is personalized to each child; created with full awareness of what does the parent want, and most importantly, what the child needs and wants, which makes it the only place in Jakarta to offer such approach.
In addition to the basic education (math, science, etc.) children can also take part in the additional activities such as dance, drama, arts and crafts, cooking, IT, music, available throughout the whole week. These additional classes, as well as tutoring classes, are not limited to special needs children only, and can be enrolled by any children.
To support its out of the box schooling method, Saraswati Learning Center has developed a special Montessori-inspired curriculum, made for children 3 years old upwards, and has been optimized for special needs children. “We want the child to be happy, the parents happy, so the school becomes a fun place to be. “ Reshma added.
Taking care of a special needs child needs a whole lot of love, compassion, affection, and for the parent/teacher to believe in them, that they can do it and they will do it. In Saraswati Learning Center, the parents can rest assured that this is taken care of and that the child receive utmost care in their activities; in addition to the one on one classes, all classes has a maximum of 1: 3 teacher to child ratio, with 9 or fewer students each class and supported with specialized facilities (pool, physical activities equipment, etc.).
