AIM

All school going children, whether they are disabled or not, have the right to education as they are the future citizens of the country. Some children with special needs may not benefit from regular classroom education due to various reasons including disability. In such a case, it is only appropriate that they be provided with education in some other meaningful way. This entails changes in curricular decisions and classroom arrangements, provision of aids and appliances, arrangements for finances and above all, appropriate teacher preparation. The most important aspect of this situation is the economics of developing such a large task-force of personnel to meet the needs of persons with disabilities, whose prevalence is usually quoted as 'one in ten'.
