Every child learns differently — some learn fast, others learn slowly, and some need a supportive environment with structured teaching. When a child struggles with reading, writing, attention, comprehension, math, memory, or classroom participation, they often need Special Education support designed exactly for their learning style.

 

At Pranaah Psychological Services & Child Development Centre, Kollam, we offer Special Education (Learning Support) that helps children become independent, confident learners.

 

Pranaah is recognized as the first established counselling centre in Kollam city (founded in 2013) and continues to grow under the leadership of:

What Special Education Means at Pranaah

Our Special Education department supports children with:

• Learning Disabilities

  • Dyslexia (reading difficulty)

  • Dysgraphia (writing difficulty)

  • Dyscalculia (math difficulty)

• Slow Learning / Academic Delays

• Attention Difficulties (ADHD-related learning issues)

• Autism-related learning needs
