on bridging the gap which exists between the actual performance and the expected performance of the

child with learning difficulties.

Our Goal….

Every  child has the ability to understand and learn. weCan is specialized in optimizing a child’s academic

performance and social adaptibility.

We Believe…

We passionately feel…

that if a child cannot meet the demands of the education system then we must meet the

educational needs of the child…

We promote Inclusive Education…

The term inclusion is a policy to ensure that all children regardless of ability are mainstreamed into classrooms and become part of the school

community

Our Target – More Inclusive Class rooms.

An inclusive classroom is

• Wonderful place to teach respectful behaviour, and tolerance, which is a lifelong skill

• Codes of equality and awareness

• A caring atmosphere and a place which every child can enjoy.

• And where the differently abled child is an integral part of the classroom.

We offer Partnership Programmes

Through our customized programs, our special educators and counselling experts partner with mainstream educators to address this challenge.

• We customize a program to facilitate Inclusion.

• We focus on one to one remedial intervention to decrease the gap between the actual performance and expected performance.

• Remedial Intervention in small groups so that a comfort zone is reached, while working in the classroom.

• Behavioural problems are addressed

• Parents and Peer Issues are addressed.

• Staff sensitization and empowerment.

Junior School Inset Programmes

• Daily intervention within the school premises, where the student gets individual attention, while being a part of a normal school setup.

• Educators who will work with the students in a group and on a one to one basis, customized to individual needs.

• All assessment tools, intervention and evaluation methods customized to individual needs

• According to the assessment, a programme is set for each child.

• Progress and feedback reports on a quarterly basis for each child.

• Interaction with parents on a regular basis.

Referral Program.

Some schools refer the children to our centre, where the children come after school hours

and support programmes are conducted at the centre.

Regular feedbacks, conferences with teachers and parents and regular reporting systems, reviews and

planning are very much a part of the partnership programme with the school

Schools often have their own team of special educators and counsellors.

These schools may need specialised support to streamline the process of identification, assessments, parent counselling, reporting and review

systems, and in formulating Individual Education Plans.

Congratulations to the entire team of WE CAN for such fabulous work. Having partnered closely with the team at South City International School, I can say that i am very impressed by the great work and dedication. Best of luck to the WE CAN  team for every future endeavour  !

Farishta Dastur Mukerji, Co-ordinator Special Education and Counselling Department, Psychotherapist, South City International School. Kolkata

The association between We Can and La Martiniere for Boys has been quite satisfying and rewarding.  Some of our students with difficulties in learning and retention have benefitted greatly from their remedial classes and this has increased their confidence and motivation.  It takes great courage to change tradition and forge new paths by thinking differently; We at La Martiniere will continue to do so, with help from organizations like We Can.  Your services and friendship are greatly appreciated.
