It must be pointed out, that many highly creative individuals apparently may seem odd as they perceive things differently which often leads to mounting pressure on them to challenge their perception of self and have them feel less valued. Remedial Counselling is a therapy through counselling used to correct performance or behaviour-related issues.

At SCS, we work on a multifaceted approach which is devoid of any prejudice by offering integrated sessions of remedial intervention to address specific needs to correct performance or behaviour-related issues., a process which primarily assists to increase functionality of an individual with a previously below-average skill while prioritizing mental wellbeing as a necessary condition for the growth of mind and overall development.

Remedial Counselling mainly focuses on refining the core academic skills of reading, spelling, writing, math, comprehension and reasoning. The process usually engage in remediation strategies in order to quickly address any misunderstandings of a concept and usually entails the involvement of fellow educators and the examination of data to determine where a student is struggling and to determine as to whether these are caused by any underlying physical or neurological issues.

The orthodox definitions of normalcy set by the community increasingly pose a challenge for such people for their lack of ability to meet these standards, and are, in turn considered abnormal or delinquent. Notions and ideas regarding ‘abnormality’ varies according to the frame of reference set by societal norms, Individuals, families in accordance with the structure of a particular community. A person may be considered normal according to one frame of reference and mentally ill according to another.

Among children, often under such conditions they are left to feel alone and misunderstood by their peers, family and teachers. Children with learning disabilities experience difficulty in acquiring basic academic skills, recalling or organizing information when they are left to figure things out by themselves or if taught in conventional ways, a reason as to how a student might need remedial education.

Assistance through counselling is given to students as well as individuals who function at a lower than average level and even for those individuals who despite having achieved at a higher than average level but find some difficulties in reading, writing or mathematical operations which results into them experiencing increased level of difficulties while acquiring basic academic skills.
