Class Arrangement
The age of the Mentally retarded is not a determining factor. For starting in a particular class however, the children are grouped based on the skill and ability level and their mental age.
Therefore the children are grouped into different groups named vocational groups.
The case history of each and every student is taken after an interview at the time of admission. Proper check-up is done to find out suitable ways to develop the IQ and motor ability of the children and sufficient assistance and guidance is rendered to the parents for their improvement.
