BUILDING BRIDGES TO SUCCESS
Inclusion and support for those with learning challenges must be
the foundation of every educational institution in India, writes

For a student with learning difficulties, the journey through educational institutions is a difficult one and
brings in daily struggles to cope and get through a challenging day, where both academics and social
interactions are pressured and stressful. This results in anxiety-related issues and a breakdown of confidence.
The only ray of light for such students is getting the right support and accommodations, which only trained
educators can provide. This enables the student to cope with these daily challenges and reach closer to their
goals. Inclusion and support for those with learning challenges must be the foundation of every educational
institution in India. There is a need for each such institution to have a centre that supports and advocates for
those with neurodiverse learning needs.
A Home Away from Home
Learning Support Centres build a bridge between Home and Educational Institutions. For students with
learning disabilities, the first two and primarily the most important pillars of support are Parents and
Teachers. It is only when there is support, and acceptance and both these arms are working together in sync,
can a student with learning requirements move ahead to complete their education and become a confident
part of the workforce. This is a resource where parents can connect with the teachers in the educational
institution, understand the gaps, and advocate for the support that their child needs thereby creating a bridge
for the student between the Home and the Educational Institution.
