The Khaitan School continues to champion empathy, understanding, and inclusivity through a series of Dyslexia Awareness Sessions conducted across both the Middle School (Classes VI–VIII) and Senior School. These sessions aimed to deepen students’ understanding of learning differences and encourage a school culture where every learner feels respected and supported.
Led by the school’s dedicated Inclusivity Ambassadors, the initiative successfully combined thoughtful presentations, meaningful discussions, and engaging multimedia tools to create a powerful learning experience for students of all age groups.
Middle School Sessions (Classes VI–VIII)
The Middle School sessions focused on helping young learners understand:
What dyslexia is
How it impacts reading, writing, and learning
Why empathy and support are essential for students with learning differences
The Inclusivity Ambassadors explained concepts through relatable examples, interactive discussions, and clear visual presentations. Students were encouraged to look beyond labels and recognise the unique strengths, creativity, and potential of individuals with dyslexia.
The Middle Schoolers participated actively, sharing thoughtful reflections and demonstrating genuine curiosity. Many expressed that they now better understand the challenges faced by students with dyslexia and feel more inspired to be patient, supportive, and inclusive in their classrooms.
Senior School Session — 3rd November
On 3rd November, the Inclusivity Ambassadors extended their efforts to the Senior School, conducting an informative and impactful session aimed at dispelling myths and promoting a deeper awareness of dyslexia among older students.
This session highlighted:
Common misconceptions about dyslexia
The challenges experienced by individuals with the condition
Their unique strengths and abilities
How supportive environments enable success
To make the session engaging and meaningful, the ambassadors used short videos, real-life examples, and visually rich presentations. Senior students took part in insightful discussions, reflecting on how they can contribute to a more inclusive school community. The session reinforced the message that acceptance, understanding, and informed awareness are key to ensuring equitable opportunities for all learners.
A Unified Impact Across the School
Across both wings, the Dyslexia Awareness Sessions successfully strengthened students’ empathy and deepened their understanding of learning diversity. By the end of the initiative, learners across the Middle and Senior School expressed a heightened sense of responsibility toward creating an inclusive, supportive environment for all their peers.
The Khaitan School remains steadfast in its commitment to fostering inclusive education—empowering students not just academically but emotionally and socially, preparing them to value diversity in all its forms.
