Abstract : UniteUniques Institute for Inclusion (OPC) Private Limited is continuing its study on the startup concept of “Digitised Home Visit Education Services” (DHVES) (Sathya D H, 2024). In our initial feasibility study, "Feasibility Testing of Digitised Home Visit Education Service (DHVES) Core Model" (Sathya D H, 2024), we found DHVES to be a viable and effective method for providing educational support to students, especially those with special needs or facing barriers to traditional schooling. This descriptive paper provides details of our second feasibility test, which evaluates the feasibility of collaborative teaching through DHVES by delivering online remedial classes with a parent as a learning and teaching assistant. A trial online session was conducted for a 10-year-old boy with a learning disability, with his mother assisting while the special educator conducted planned activities and a passive observer silently watched the session. The session was recorded, and all participants shared their experiences via questionnaires. Three video reviewers also shared their observations through questionnaires, which served as data for the study. This qualitative research was analyzed using the concept analysis method. The findings indicate that conducting online remedial sessions with students joining via mobile phone can engage them in learning activities meaningfully. The study also revealed that online learning sessions supported by a parent or family member have significant advantages. However, the results cannot be generalized as the feasibility testing was conducted with only one case. We will continue to explore various aspects of DHVES to develop it into a successful alternative education system for students who require educational services at home.
