if those special schools had not been instituted, how would you been able to
get those services mentioned in your mail? on one hand we want to be
recognised as a differently abled, disabled, specially abled etc and another
hand we don't require special schools for the blind. what about those blind
children where their parents have almost thrown them in to the hostels of
blind schools and never come to meet their children? should they be admitted
to orphanage?
secondly, who will fight for that victim in odisha who attempted suiside?
will The NGOs who are advocating inclusive education come forward to
negotiate with the concerned authorities? not at all. only those blind
student who are studying their will fight and nobody will stand with them.
still my original question is unattended.

Hi all,
I am jumping into this thread so my point may have been covered.
<snip If the integrated or inclusive education is
the only solution, then there is no requirement of special schools. the
blind community should either support special school or inclusive
education.
both can not run at a time.
PL] I come from an inclusive education environment. I have taken 3
services from institutions of the blind namely, Braille instruction,
mobility training and library and scanning services. An absolute stance is
counterproductive. I used to believe that inclusive education is the way
to go for everyone. I am told that this is not always the case. There are
students with multiple disabilities and or behavioural problems who need
the environment of special schools. We need more inclusive education for
sure but we cannot wish special institutions away.
A poster has commented that private schools listen. Well, it takes a
significant amount of pursuading and working from the ground up. Are
students in private schools better able to advocate for their needs than
those in government schools? I do not know because my contact to
government schools has been limited to the examination center for my
twelth standard board exam.
