Abstract
My friend, Mahek Panesar, suffers from Cerebral Palsy. While her movement of the right limbs is restrained, her intellectual capabilities are on a borderline. To help Mahek get through her ICSE examination, certain techniques were used so that she passed her compulsory English. The use of techniques like using visual aids, modifying speech to help comprehension, being patient with her and not expecting immediate prompt answers, paying more attention to key terms etc. helped Mahek to get more than just pass marks in the ICSE Examination, not only in English, but also in other subjects. This paper aims to present the techniques used, with examples , to illustrate the fact that such methods and techniques of teaching English is actually applicable in real life situations and do not stop at being a theoretical construct only.
