Since childhood, whenever I came across children with learning disabilities, it was my dream to do something for such special children. Even after my stint as a tutor for more than two decades, this remained as a dream. But not before I came across a course that promised my dream come true. That course was Remedial Teacher Training course by ACE Resource Centre by Mrs. Salma Prabhu.
While undergoing this training, both theory and practical, I came across several cases which helped me in understanding the trauma faced by both the child and parents, thus allowing to learn the basics and techniques of addressing their day to day problems. The contents of the programme and their qualified faculty helped me to know the exact way of handling such children. The workshops and visits to centers were truly memorable and paved the way to enhance my knowledge. In short, this course offered by Ms. Prabhu is great in all respects. It would be my endeavor to continue with what I learnt during this course and am grateful to Ms. Prabhu for creating such a programme.

I am mother of two lovely sons. My elder son studying in 11th grade is good in studies. However, younger presently studies in 6th grade. I started noticing, that he is not paying attention to studies but interested in playing and watching TV. His interest in studies is neither improving nor his academic performance. This was causing great concern to me, and as a mother I was very much upset and worried. I know Mrs. Salma Prabhu and her work in counseling and guiding students in various institutions in Vashi , as I had already attended few of their parenting sessions in past. While discussing about my younger son with her, she gave me some guidelines for conducting tests. During test, his IQ level found to be normal, but he had reading problem which is why he is making spelling errors. Salma Prabhu advised me to join the Remedial Teaching Course at ACE institute in Vashi. The course has helped me know the reasons for his spelling mistakes.
The course has helped me change my approach and interaction with him, while taking his studies. I am really happy to see now he is gradually showing improvement in academics as well as in his behavior. This course has also helped me know & understand him much better than I could. Course also helped me to proactively take and plan actions to improve him. Now my younger son is making a quick progress towards his success.

The course conducted by ACE has actually fine tuned my perspective towards children who are special creations of god. I was always aware about their presence but looking towards their positives and abilities in finer details has developed only due to ACE. I have started looking at children where I try observing their interests with a focus on their ability and visualize how it can help them become successful adults.
It is still premature how successful I would be in nurturing the abilities of children but this course has certainly given me a vision which would help me on a mission to do something for the society. It has been a thought deep inside my heart also.
If fact, I have started looking at my children with a different view point and would advise people to go through the course and see the difference in your outlook. It’s a kind of a clarity which is certainly needed in today’s times.

I would like to narrate the following about ACE.
Academy for Counseling and Research (ACE) is very good at conducting School Surveys to assess various potentials in students. (My limited exposure in case of own son).General Aptitude Test Battery assesses the following parameters. General Intelligence, Verbal Aptitude, Numerical Aptitude, Spatial Aptitude, Form Perception, Clerical Perception, Speed and Motor Coordination.
The results are easily understood by parents. Intelligence Tests are used to assess following attributes, Verbal, Non-Verbal. Personality Test helps parents understand their child in a better way. Conclusions and Recommendations can be used by parents to chart the right course of plan / action for education/career.
All above outputs are well explained to parents and if a parent is genuinely concerned about future career of child, this Survey surely plays a crucial role in shaping careers.
All the Best.
