DIVERSASIA - Best practices

As a reflective article on critiquing the current scenario of education for children with disabilities in India, we believe that a major shortcoming is a lack is sensitivity in the society for this section. Sensitizing with the needs of disabled will not only improve the education system, but also make them a more inclusive section of society where we enable them to realize their potential and deserve what they are meant to. Friends and family should be the prime support of every child with disability. Also, overcoming the issues in implementing inclusive education is necessary. We have found that teachers need to be trained better to accommodate to the needs of disabled students. Children with disabilities should be able to benefit from the system a much abled students. The teacher to student ratio should be maintained so that children with disabilities should get special individual attention and they can cope with the studies. Curriculum should not be rigid and should customized for the children with disabilities to suit their requirements.
