ii. Successful stories :Swathi 1st standard student:

Swati a 5 year old girl, who was unable to speak and communicate, was enrolled in the Panchayat union middle school at Alambarai Kuppam village 5 years ago. She was studying in class 1 but was not doing well at school. The early detection of her problem was done by the teacher, Mr. Tamil Selvan and told that she is unable to write, spell and to pronounce. This makes her feel bad and she does not talk at all.

The centre focused on the skill development exercises and helped her to make friends with other children. The motivation centre staff was very helpful to parents also who started practicing the same exercises at home.

Now Swati is a vibrant girl with a very good confidence. She dances very well and so many friends. She is a good public speaker. She gives all the credit to the PTA teacher Mr.Tamilselvan. She aspires to be a good advocate in future.
