At Siddaganga City Central High School, Vijayapur, we recognize the importance of understanding how children develop intellectually, as highlighted by Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. According to Piaget, children interact with their surroundings, continuously acquiring new knowledge, building on existing concepts, and adapting their ideas to incorporate new information.

We acknowledge that each child has unique learning potential and varying developmental needs. Therefore, it is essential to make every effort to optimize their learning in positive and inclusive ways. With this in mind, our Personalised Learning Centre (PLC) provides learning support and counseling services to students with special needs.

The PLC caters to the needs of students with behavioural, social, and cognitive challenges. Our school is staffed with experienced and qualified counselors and special education teachers who identify students in need of support and guide teachers on intervention strategies and services. The department’s objective is to provide personalized guidance and strategies to parents on social-emotional development, positive parenting, discipline management, and cognitive development. Additionally, the PLC organizes counseling programs designed to motivate students and help them achieve academic excellence.

The Personalised Learning Centre conducts workshops for parents, teachers, and students on various life skills topics, including:

A. The Art of Parenting
B. Enhancing Reading Skills and Fostering Self-Esteem
C. Developing Attachment Styles through Play
D. Early Intervention for Understanding Developmental Lags
E. Handling Temper Tantrums

Ongoing guidance is provided to teachers to support social-emotional development in students and address their needs effectively.

This approach is realized through a dedicated and highly skilled team of special educators and counselors, who plan and implement Individualized Education Plans (IEP) and Individualized Counseling Plans (ICP) for students with special needs. By fostering an inclusive educational environment, we not only support students with academic, behavioural, and emotional challenges but also create a space where every student has the opportunity to thrive.
