Children with Special Needs (CWSN) – Integration

To overcome these problems generally an aid is given to the child. An aid is an adult sitting along with the special child encouraging and motivating the child to move along with the class.

Schools are advised to allow parents when they make a request to provide an aid so that individual attention is possible for the child and enables the student to grow and learn along with the other peers in the class.

Further inclusive education also needs to be done with an Individual Evaluation Program. Specific goals should be set for each child with special need based upon the appraisal. For this purpose the schools need to have a special educator as has already been recommended earlier.

It is being reiterated that any school which fails to provide attention to a child with special needs or makes a pretext of denying admission to any category of a differently able child will be liable to stringent action even to the extent of disaffiliation.

The Guidelines on Inclusive Education of Children with Disabilities is once again enclosed for dissemination to all stakeholders which includes parents of the school.
