THE ROUND TABLE CENTRE

Victoria School VI th Form & Centre for Continuing Education

The Round Table Centre is a specialist unit for Physically Disabled Students aged between 16 and 19 years. The students attending in the centre may have a range of additional needs varying in complexity. These might include sensory impairments (e.g. hearing impairment, visual/perceptual, and learning difficulties)

The students have a variety of disabilities - Cerebral Palsy, being the most common. Moreover, the severity of the disability varies greatly as does the level of academic ability. Some students are completely mobile while others are totally confined to a wheelchair and have limited muscular control.

In order to provide students with the best possible chance of self-reliance and independence, every effort is made to treat the disability as well as to seek ways of compensating for it. To this end, physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy are provided on the premises and there is close liaison with, and regular visiting by the School Medical Officer. Trained medical staff administer drugs and medicines as prescribed and are on permanent call should any emergencies arise. They also provide information and advice to parents on medical management.
