Intellectual Development

Intellectual Development is a factor in

establishing a well-structured wellness
program as it helps restore the self-esteem of
clients. Their minds become open to ideas
and clients intellect does not cease to feed on
a free interchange of opinions. Thus, providing
opportunities for learning and education will
facilitate regaining clients human quality and
self-respect.
The following are the programs that
can be implemented by the BCSC:

Alternative Learning System

intellectual stimulation and seek personal
involvement among the residents. It is a way
of providing information, improving the
clients speaking and writing abilities and

understand all the the information.
