ADAPTIVE TEACHING FELLOWSHIP

Thank you very much for giving an opportunity to the students of Fergusson College to be a part of the Adaptive Teaching Fellowship at Anjali Morris Foundation.
Throughout the year the students learnt the nuances of working with children with learning disabilities in a very hands-on way. From what I gathered from my students the program was very comprehensive and holistic, one that takes into account the psychological needs of parents as well as children facing such challenges. It was a great adjunct to all that students learn at a theoretical level in post graduate classes. Your methodical and humane approach has proved to be very enriching for the students, making them industry ready and sensitive citizens.
Profusely thanking you for such a well structured fellowship program!

My master’s degree lasted for 2 years, but I learned more in the 8 months I dedicated to the fellowship program. The entire experience was surreal from the start. I didn’t expect a lot, but was still taken aback by the amount of preparation and planning that went on behind the scenes. Our mentors ensured that the level of training we got lived up to the standards offered by AMF.The classroom sessions were interesting, but school visits were what I looked forward to. They taught us how to speak to parents, teachers, and school management in a way that would yield best practices.Everything that is taught to me, that I know, is backed by years and years of research. The theoretical understanding and practical knowledge together have made me ready to work in this field today. Through this job, I get to do something that makes me happy as well.The one person I haven’t yet mentioned is Swapna ma’am. She’s the one person who went beyond the boundaries of the fellowship to teach me real-life lessons.

My 8-month fellowship at Dr. Anjali Morris Foundation has been a truly special journey, one that I’ll always carry with me. It wasn’t just about learning theories related to learning disabilities, but also about understanding how those theories come alive in real-world settings. The balance of both theory and practical exposure helped me connect the dots in a way I hadn’t expected. During the fellowship, we got to visit several schools to conduct comprehensive and pre-assessments, attend various workshops, and observe intervention sessions across different programs like Empower, C2C, and PSA. These experiences really opened my eyes to how much thought,care, and intention goes into supporting children with learning differences. More than anything, I’m grateful for the mentors I had during this journey — Medha Ma’am, Manjusha Ma’am, Manali Ma’am, and so many others. They taught us with so much patience, clarity, and warmth. I always felt supported, heard,and encouraged. This fellowship has given me not just knowledge, but also confidence in myself.

My fellowship at Anjali Morris Foundation was not just a learning experience, it was a turning point in my life. Before I joined, I knew very little about Specific Learning Disabilities or the lives of children who face these challenges every day. During the fellowship, I gained more than just theoretical knowledge, I experienced what it truly means to see every child as capable, to value inclusivity, and to create space where every child feels seen, heard, and supported. I learned how AMF’s resource teachers adapt to the unique needs of every child. One of the most meaningful parts of the fellowship was working with children . Spending time with them gave me a fresh and very humbling perspective on life. And now, I’m so grateful to be working in this field. It feels incredibly special to continue being part of this beautiful mission. Being here has shaped not just my career, but also the person I am becoming. And for that, I will always be thankful.

Being part of the first cohort of the AMF Fellowship was one of the most enriching experiences of my academic and professional journey. The practical exposure—school visits, assessments, tool training, case histories, and expert lectures—helped me understand how theory truly works in real life. The structured design of the fellowship, guided by Swapna Ma’am’s inspiring vision, made my transition from fellow to employee smooth and meaningful.
