I am Vidya Vinod. I hail from Kerala, otherwise known as “God’s own country“ in India. I have completed my Masters in Special Education with Mental retardation as the main research topic. I have undergone various training in the areas of Learning Disabilities, autism, brain gym, etc. I am here in UAE for the past 20 years and in the field of inclusion for the past 15 years. Now working as a SENCO for the Secondary campus in GEMS Wesgreen International School. My experiences will highlight my commitment to children, showcase my expertise in differentiating instructions, and demonstrate my communication and leadership skills. Being a highly dedicated and versatile educator, I have enjoyed the opportunity to teach a diverse group of children, including those with ADD/ADHD, Autism, Asperger’s syndrome, speech impairments, noncompliant behavior, learning disabilities, and physical challenges. These experiences have helped me blossom into a well-rounded and compassionate individual. I consider each student’s unique goals, needs, and interests into account while creating effective lesson plans and try to accommodate them.
