IIMV FIELD

SOLUTION:

Suggested 3-Tier – 3 P’s solution which deals with the educational triad: Students, Teachers, and Parents.

Pedagogy - Special educators with the right levels of empathy and sensitivity will be selected and equipped
with the right kind of tools and methodologies to deal with divergent kids.

Pupil – Similar kinds of divergent individuals will be grouped together, and suitable workshops will be provided
to address their divergent conditions in a shared environment.

Parents – One-to-one counselling for the parents of the participants due to the stigma associated with
learning disabilities.

METHODOLOGY APPLIED FOR PARTICIPANTS: 3D

a. Detection: The first level is to detect and analyse the intelligence type of the student.

b. Disability: The second level is to identify their learning disability and provide remedial action to minimize it.

c. Divergence: The third level is to focus on their divergent strengths and allow them to
explore and maximize them.

THE JOURNEY:

Butterfly – Personal: A dyslexic person’s journey is very similar to that of a butterfly. Being dyslexic
myself, I have gone through 3 stages, which are:

Caterpillar – Dealing with the learning disability, this stage is marked by lots of self-doubts, personal
trials, and tribulations.

Pupa – A self-discovery and self-learning journey through introspection, study, and research.

Butterfly – Once one understands one’s strengths and areas of concern, one can fly in their respective
gardens (domains).

Honeybee – As a group of friends from various domains sharing the goal of conducting groundbreaking
research in multiple fields, we call ourselves the HIVE Group. We have formed a Think Tank where we
bring together creative and innovative ideas and projects to explore them in depth, much like bees do

when they harvest honey from flowers. It was at this point that I became motivated to tackle this subject
professionally.

Kangaroo Baby - Following the incubation of our Venture at IIM V, we were able to further investigate
and confirm our idea with the assistance of other professors and professionals. Being in a baby pouch
under the security of the incubation centre, we were able to take one step at a time thanks to the support

we received.

Jungle – Raising a child requires a village. The same is true for raising a newly developed species -
Thought Leadership: a jungle. The city of Visakhapatnam serves as this forest, and its ecosystem of

academic institutions, research facilities, and institutional specialists has helped us mold our endeavor
to this point.
