Special Ed For Special Kids | Swami Lalitananda | TEDxYouth@SSVM

Professional diagnosis of a student’s problems is required to provide an accurate Individual Education Plan (IEP) to address their needs and assess what type of class setting would enable them to best achieve the goals set forth. Parental acknowledgement of their child’s disability, as well as cooperation with the diagnostic recommendations, is of paramount importance in helping the student to achieve maximum success, making their school years positive, happy and memorable ones. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by SSVM Institutions.
SWAMI LALITANANDA received her B.Sc. in Varying Exceptionalities from Southern Connecticut State University and M.Ed in Special Education for Emotionally Challenged from Florida Atlantic University in the USA. As a Teacher & Student Counsellor for many years, her “Teaching from the Heart” method combined nurturing and discipline, which enabled her students to gradually return to regular classes on a part-time to full-time basis.
