Age consideration
ADMISSION PROCESSYoung children with Developmental disorders (generally below the age of 6 years) are enrolled into the Communicare Program. Enrollment into a specific Communicare group or batch is based on chronological age, neurological age and group fit of the child. Two batches of the regular groups are conducted at the Communicare Preschool and Intervention Centres.
Children who are generally below age of 3½ years are enrolled in the morning group: 9.30 am – 12.30 pm.
Children above the age of 4, are generally enrolled in to the Noon group which runs from 2-5 pm. This enables the child to attend school during the morning hour, if possible.
Group fit
ADMISSION PROCESSThe intervention programs are conducted in small, mid-sized or large group settings. At the time of enrolment, a child’s potential fit into the existing group is considered. It becomes essential that the group setting is beneficial to him/her. Capabilities to benefit from a group are reviewed during the assessment.

- Rules and Regulations
Discipline
At the Communicare school, students are expected to be part of a community that exercises understanding and goodwill towards each other. The rules at Communicare are designed to help us live and work together in harmony.
The faculty and staff at Communicare are committed to ensuring that students pass-out as confident, well-adjusted and disciplined members of society, with a developed sense of responsibility towards themselves as individuals and society at large.
We follow time-honoured values of conformity when it comes to neatness of dress and personal appearance. We expect our students to extend courtesy and respect to parents, members of the staff and the public. We also expect our students to adhere to and believe in policies of honesty and hard work, taking responsibility for one’s actions and displaying strength of character at all times – values constantly inculcated by our staff.
In the classroom, the teaching faculty at Communicare believes that:
Discipline should be fair and consistent
Students should be self-disciplined
Teachers must set an appropriate example and where possible, initiate disciplinary action themselves.
The major role of discipline is to ensure that each student has the right to learn.
Punishments/consequences for breaching the school’s code of conduct are clearly understood by all
Most disciplinary problems can be resolved if avenues of communication between the school and home are established and kept open.
- We strictly do not encourage parents waiting in the school premises.
