Therapeutic Units
The common characteristics of intellectual disabilities are: difficulty in learning and processing information; problems with abstract thought; and problems with social interactions occur at varying levels unique to each individual. Intellectual impairment involves problems with mental abilities that affect day-to-day functioning in three areas:
- Conceptual – includes problems with skill in language, reading, writing, mathematics, reasoning, memory, knowledge retention.
- Social – refers to issues with empathy, judgment, communication, making and keeping friends, and other social functions.
- Practical – focuses on problems with self-care, like personal hygiene, job duties, personal finance & organization.
For KVTC it’s critical that parents who suspect their child may have an intellectual impairment seek counseling and help from their qualified mental health and medical professionals. For them we create a therapeutic unit whose services are given below:
Psychodiagnostic & Counseling
Clinical psychologists meet with trainee to identify problems emotional, mental and behavioral in their lives. Through observation, interviews and tests, the psychologist will diagnose any existing or potential disorders. They formulate a program of treatment according to the client’s needs. Psychologists monitor the client’s progress on a regular basis to ensure that their needs are met by the course of action, and to adjust it if necessary.
