Evaluations at AIKYASpecial educators at AIKYA
conduct evaluations to find the
current level of functioning of a
child with special needs. Then the
development goals are set and an
Individualized Education Plan
(IEP) is drawn up for the child.The education also becomes
really special and needs one-to-
one coaching as the needs of each
child is varied in the differently-
abled spectrum.
No single test may be used as the
sole measure to determine
whether a child has a disability.
Or to determine an appropriate
educational program for your
child.
Both formal and informal tests
and other evaluation measures
are important in determining the
special education and related
services your child needs. To read
more about the different types of
tests that are conducted click

Events for January 2012
AIKYA will conduct computer
and soft-skills training for self-
advocates on weekends.
Storytelling at AIKYA
Eight kids atAIKYAwere eager to
listen to the adventures of Kaala,the King Cobra on 17th Nov.
Storyteller Anitha told the story.
As the kids were very young, a
recollection of facts was helpful.
So, the kids repeated after the
storyteller:
The King Cobra sheds itsskin.
King Cobra does not haveears and eyelids.
King Cobra uses smell andits tongue to catch food.

King Cobra does not eatfood daily.
The King Cobra hatchesfrom eggs.
The King Cobra is 15 feetlong.
And so on.... The kids had a look
at the colorful picture book. They
also created a forest using crayons
and sketch pens. The kids drew a
tree, river, a King Cobra, and
birds. Finally, they mimicked a
snake dance pose. The kids
recalled seeing a snake in TV.
AIKYA thanks Pratham Books for
their initiative and story book.
This was a nationwide event and
happened simultaneously in 28
centers across 11 states and one
union territory.
AIKYA plans to launch AIKYA
Online University
AIKYA plans to capitalize on the
20 years of Ms. Parvathys
experience and expertise in
dealing with special children.
Who can be a better Subject
Matter Expert (SME) than her for
e-learning courses on special
needs?
AIKYA is working on the
storyboards. It would be great if
we can have volunteers who can
do the Flash development andlaunch the course online. AIKYA
looks forward to technical help.

A Thought for the New Year
Here are no sounds of discord
no profane
Or senseless gossip of unworthy
things
Only the songs of chisels and pens,
Of busy brushes, and ecstatic
strains
Of souls surcharged with music
most divine
Here is no idle sorrow, no poor
grief
For any day or object left behind
For time is counted precious, and
herein
Is such complete abandonment of
Self
That tears turn into rainbows, and
enhance
The beauty of the land, where all is
fair.
- James Allen
