A world without activity limitation for persons with communication disorders.
Dear friends, The last quarter between April to June 2016 had been quite demanding as students were getting ready for the exams; delighted to share the happy news that the X Std students of Sunaad school, 18 of them appeared for exam and 12 secured first class and 6 second class in SSLC. This is for the third consecutive year that the school achieved this distinction. The staff and students of the college were busy with completing portions, dissertations and nevertheless receiving the Local Inquiry Committee (LIC) of the University. The Trustees and the Management Committee had been involved in various fund raising activities and working out strategies for drawing talents and retaining them among the staff as well as students!! The admission to all courses offered by the Institute had overwhelming response with very large number of applications. We are striving to do our best!! Thanks to all your encouragement, guidance and support. Seeking your good wishes and continued involvement.

Emotional Intelligence
The author, Mrs. Alphonsa Joseph is Associate Professor & H.O.D. Psychology Unit. Her areas of interest are Learning Disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Behavioural Training and Parent Training.
Our behaviours are inseparable from our emotions, there is no thinking without feeling, no feeling without thinking, action, feeling and thought all affect one and another. We literally make choices about how we feel. Recognizing, understanding and choosing how we think, feel and act is broadly called. Emotional intelligence, a term coined by Daniel Goleman. It shapes our interactions with others and understanding of ourselves, it allows us to set priorities, and also defines how we learn. Emotional intelligence is closely related to ourselves and our reactions to others, research suggest that emotional intelligence is responsible for as much as 80% of the ‘success’ in our lives. To understand our emotional intelligence, we have to understand these areas: • Know yourself or increasing self-awareness by building emotional literacy - by identifying and recognizing one’s emotion and how it effects our thoughts and behaviour. • Self-management is the capacity to control our behaviors resulting from our emotions in appropriate and productive ways.
• Identity and understand emotional needs of others, based on verbal and non-verbal cues, to improve interpersonal sides and social awareness • Social responsibility and management of relationship which is the ability to communicate effectively and to interact in well behaved manner Fostering and nurturing emotional intelligence in children is important as emotions are what connects us; teaching a child the healthy skill for social and emotional behaviour will help children to learn better, solve problems and develop positive social relationships, and lead to academic success and self confidence Ways to teach emotional intelligence • Help your child identify the emotion, teach them to name their feelings – like happy, sad, angry, and later move on to more complex emotions as frustrated etc. • Role play, take their part and require them to respond to others, role playing often encourage empathy and is one of the earliest ways to understand our emotions, and other perspective • Teach them to solve their problems, creative exploration allows the child to develop, and they experience the sense of “process” • Teach and foster empathy, having a pet usually is one of the best ways to foster empathy • Take change of your own emotions and your own emotional barometer Emotional intelligence is a skill that we continue to chance all our lives, it is a skill that allows us to manage our stress, interactions and complex relationship in a complex would we live in.

Chai with Champions
We had the pleasure of hosting a veteran ENT Surgeon Dr. H.C. Ramesh, former Director of Health and Family Welfare, Govt. of Karnataka and Director of UNIDO on 6th May 2016. A person with a vast, unique experience and vision, Dr. Ramesh fondly recalled how he had been mentored by the founder of our Institute Dr. S. R. Chandrasekhar. He recorded his appreciation and compliments to the founder and the Institute. A rural client, aged 70 years, walked into the chambers of our Director and Chairman Rtn. Dr. M.S. Venkatesh pleading for a free Behind-The-Ear digital hearing aid as he lost the one already given free of cost by the Institute. Looking at his need and plight, the Chairman promptly approved of giving him the same make and model of hearing aid free of cost from the kitty donated by Lions club (Lion Dr. Krishna Reddy, Manchester, UK). The client walked out cheerfully. Dr. H.C. Ramesh was a silent spectator of the scene and later recommended that we may probe to seek assistance binder the elderly care schemes of the Government. During the discussion he also highlighted the need for creating photo voltaic facility in the campus to which the Chairman replied that we only have solar heaters and for want sturdy roof top space to locate and maintain solar cells. The meeting ended with a note that we may expand our outreach activities to neighbouring districts as well.
