V-Excel Educational Trust

One of the most challenging aspects of teaching a child with special needs is the realization that this child has come to our centre with a mission which we will be a part of. It is for us to discover this and serve the child in our journey together.

The programs offered by V-Excel Educational Trust are designed to address this. In understanding that education can be healing, we have a variety of things to offer under our umbrella organization. Making every moment of teaching alive and real for the children, different therapies, assessments, support systems such as counseling and psychotherapy, medical services, remedial programs, advocacy for equal rights, full inclusion in society, independent living, self-determination and employment.

We have a team of dedicated, motivated and committed teaching staff, who aim to work with the child as their centre and serve in the best interest of the childs needs.

Our goal is to help families understand and accept their life situation and make the best of it and to overcome obstacles to social access and employment for persons with special needs.

We are a non-profit, non-religious, non-sectarian and non-discriminatory organization based in Chennai, India.

The Academy of Teacher Excellence (ATE) aims to graduate the best teachers, strive to be more conscientious, dedicated, sensitive, enthusiastic, and motivated. The Academy offers a year-long Diploma program in Special Education. It also offers short-term courses in various areas of special education and disabilities.

Our school, Kaleidoscope Learning Center (KLC), addresses a wide spectrum of learning and developmental difficulties. We follow the Waldorf curriculum and practice Curative Education.

The V-Excel Remedial Center (VRC) is a feeder program for the KLC. It helps students in regular schools cope with the prescribed curriculum. Students are trained to have better study skills and to organize themselves better. They are trained on a one-to-one basis.

Jointly run by V-Excel and ESVI Sarada Foundation, the V-Excel Center for Research and Rehabilitation provides training in sensory integration, vocational services, counselling assessments, workshops for teachers, parents and children and home management for parents. The center caters to infants and children under age 4 who are differently abled. In addition, pre-vocational and vocational training is provided to young adults with developmental disabilities.

Another program of V-Excel is the implementation of the Indian Government's initiative called Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) which means "education for all". We were selected by the Government of Tamil Nadu to implement integrated education for the disabled in rural areas. This program currently covers 9 blocks and about 650 schools.
