Schools' rejection of students with special needs is common: Mental health
experts - Times of India 

Sep 5, 2018, 

MUMBAI: As the parents of a class VIII boy diagnosed with attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) fight out his suspension with The Cathedral &
John Connon School in the Bombay high court, the focus is back on the
inclusion of children with special needs or the lack of it in city schools.
Activists feel schools still refuse to open their doors to students with
special needs. "Inclusion does not mean just admitting a child in school,
but also making sure the child is comfortable in the environment and learns
to the best of one's ability. The onus lies on the school to make sure that
the child is socially accepted by counselling the peers and their parents,"
said Rekha Vijaykar, director of the NGO ADAPT - Able Disabled All People
Together. While the Right to Education Act 2009 vouches for inclusion, the
Persons with Disability Act 2016 outlines responsibilities of educational
institutes to promote and facilitate inclusive education. The Act requires
schools to admit students without discrimination and provide infrastructure
and academic support like suitable pedagogical methods and other measures to
ensure academic and social participation and development. Mental health
professionals say they often encounter cases where such students are asked
to leave school. "Many elite schools are known to force students with ADHD,
autism or learning disabilities to drop out. Since the law of the land,
including RTE Act and Persons with Disability Act, does not allow them to
cancel their admission, they threaten parents with consequences and ask them
to instead take the leaving certificate. Violation of child rights is
rampant in city schools," said psychiatrist Dr Harish Shetty. Vijaykar
agrees that rejection of students with special needs is common and it's
detrimental to a child's progress. "A student with ADHD was asked to leave
his school in Khar and was out of class for nearly two years until he joined
us. His academic progress has been affected since then," she said. But
schools put the onus on parents. "Schools have a handful of counsellors or
sometimes just one for hundreds of students. In spite of that, when we make
an effort to help the child and ask the parents for a clinical diagnosis,
they are in denial. This makes it difficult for us to help the children in a
classroom setting. We also have to consider the safety and progress of other
students," said a school counsellor. Some believe that schools and parents
must put the child's best interest at the fore. "The casualty in a fight
between the school and parents is the child. School counsellors are trained
to identify ADHD; they must bring parents on board. Schools need to give
parents the time to process the information and parents come around once
they feel there are no repercussions for the child to get tested. Early
identification is critical," said Upasna Saraf, special educator, Bombay
Cambridge Gurukul.

All schools insist on fitness certificate--physical and mental--at the time of 
admission.

Actually, all schools cannot be inclusive.
So, we are doing the wrong thing by forcing them to admit students with special 
needs.

Special schools must be enhanced at primary level, and then 
integrative/inclusive set ups thought of.

This for some disabilities and for others, special set ups only can equip them 
to live to some extent at least.

It is disappointing that the Govt. and most rehab professionals view people
with disability  as persons with special needs. Time we pushed for a change
on the definition of who makes for a child going to school and then redesign
education etc. to meet the demands of the revised design. As it is the
education meted out to the average Indian is not doing justice to the
potential to the talent  that exists. Not only persons with disability but
most persons emerging from our education system are not employable.  This is
my view and can be debated!

I agree about the primary schools idea, but I would submit that the solution 
for noninclusive mainstream schools has to be to push for greater inclusion, 
not to let them remain unaccountable for not being fully inclusive. At the end 
of the day, the world in which we operate is also not inclusive in several key 
ways, so why should children with single disabilities not be equipped with the

Re: [AI] Education

Rahul I agree.
But my remedy is to foster special set ups at least at primary level, in order 
for children with disabilities to be equipped with relevant skil sets to 
operate in the non-inclusive world including schools at secondary level.

Moreover thrusting small children in non-inclusive schools with the broader aim 
of making the schools inclusive would pit them against ruthless system, thereby 
marring their psychological growth, apart from compromising on their 
educational needs.

[AI] education issue of blind student

2015-05-12 Thread GANDIGUDE SANTOSH SANJAY
Please take the positive issue in this regard and approach to authorities for 
necessary actions related to facilities,schemes,concessions,modification in 
curriculum and legal examinations of Persons with Disabilities.

The University Authorities violating the provisions of "The Persons with 
Disabilities(Equal Opportunities,Protection of Rights and Full Participation) 
Act,1995."

The universities are not implementing the legal provisions by law,which were 
already implemented in India.
All Universities should take following necessary action for the benefit of 
Persons with Disabilities specially Visually Impaired:-

1)The universities should follow the provisions of 'CHAPTER V EDUCATION' of The 
Persons with Disabilities(Equal Opportunities,Protection of Rights and Full 
Participation) Act,1995,which are given below:

Section 27(f) provides "Providing every child with disability free of cost 
special books and equipments needed for his education.

Section 30(b) provides "The removal of architectural barriers from 
schools,colleges or other institution,imparting vocational and professional 
training".

Section 30(c) provides "The supply of books,uniforms and other materials to 
children with disabilities attending school."

Section 30(d) provides "The grant of scholarship to students with disabilities."

Section 30(e) provides "Setting up of appropriate fora for the redressal of 
grievances of parent,regarding the placement of their children with 
disabilities."

Section 30(f) provides "Suitable modification in the examination system to 
eliminate purely mathematical questions for the benefit of blind students and 
students with low vision".

Section 30(g) provides "Restructuring of curriculum for the benefit of children 
with disabilities."

Section 30(h) provides "restructuring the curriculum for benefit of students 
with hearing impairment to facilitate them to take only one language as part of 
their curriculum."

Section 31 provides "Educational institutions to provide amanuensis to students 
with Visual handicaps:
All educational institutions shall provide or cause to be provided amanuensis 
to blind students and students with or low vision."
•Amanuensis means:
॰a person who writes down what another says.
॰One who write the examination for visually impaired.
॰One who write another dictates.
॰A person whose employment is to write what another dictates or to copy what 
another has written.

2)The Universities should constitute the Department of Educational Empowerment 
of Persons with Disabilities(EEPD).
All disability related procedures and matters should be forwarded to this 
department for necessary actions.

3)The University should also constitute An Educational Empowerment and Advisory 
Committee on Persons with Disabilities(EEACPD) for understanding the 
implementation,inspection and analysis of laws,rules and regulations made by 
Central and State Governments.

4)The study material,question papers should be provided in a accessible format.

5)The Universities should gives an alternative question paper for Visually 
Impaired  instead of visual input questions like diagramatic,graphical and map 
based questions.The candidate should be given alternative text based non-visual 
questions instead of visual input based questions.
A facility for the request to the same(non visual alternative questions) needs 
to be provided at the time of filling up the examination form/course 
registration form.
The candidate will have the freedom to opt for the visual questions,if they so 
choose.
The said preference will be recorded in the appropriate form.

6)If the special alternative question paper is not provided,the Visually 
Impaired Candidates should exempted from drawing diagram,graphs,maps etc. in 
University level as well as College level exam and gives equal marks to that 
visual input i.e.diagrams,graphs and maps based questions.

7)There should be any indicative mark/writing PwD category details in a 
column/special sticker/barcode on the answer sheets of PwD students for the

Please take the positive issue in this regard and approach to authorities for 
necessary actions related to facilities,schemes,concessions,modification in 
curriculum and legal examinations of Persons with Disabilities.

The University Authorities violating the provisions of "The Persons with 
Disabilities(Equal Opportunities,Protection of Rights and Full Participation) 
Act,1995."

The universities are not implementing the legal provisions by law,which were 
already implemented in India.
All Universities should take following necessary action for the benefit of 
Persons with Disabilities specially Visually Impaired:-

1)The universities should follow the provisions of 'CHAPTER V EDUCATION' of The 
Persons with Disabilities(Equal Opportunities,Protection of Rights and Full 
Participation) Act,1995,which are given below:

special books and equipments needed for his education.

Section 30(b) provides "The removal of architectural barriers from 
schools,colleges or other institution,imparting vocational and professional 
training".

Section 30(c) provides "The supply of books,uniforms and other materials to 
children with disabilities attending school."

Section 30(e) provides "Setting up of appropriate fora for the redressal of 
grievances of parent,regarding the placement of their children with

eliminate purely mathematical questions for the benefit of blind students and 
students with low vision".

Section 30(g) provides "Restructuring of curriculum for the benefit of children 
with disabilities."

Section 30(h) provides "restructuring the curriculum for benefit of students 
with hearing impairment to facilitate them to take only one language as part of 
their curriculum."

Section 31 provides "Educational institutions to provide amanuensis to students 
with Visual handicaps:
All educational institutions shall provide or cause to be provided amanuensis 
to blind students and students with or low vision."
•Amanuensis means:
॰a person who writes down what another says.
॰One who write the examination for visually impaired.
॰One who write another dictates.
॰A person whose employment is to write what another dictates or to copy what 
another has written.

2)The Universities should constitute the Department of Educational Empowerment 
of Persons with Disabilities(EEPD).
All disability related procedures and matters should be forwarded to this 
department for necessary actions.

3)The University should also constitute An Educational Empowerment and Advisory 
Committee on Persons with Disabilities(EEACPD) for understanding the 
implementation,inspection and analysis of laws,rules and regulations made by 
Central and State Governments.

4)The study material,question papers should be provided in a accessible format.

5)The Universities should gives an alternative question paper for Visually 
Impaired  instead of visual input questions like diagramatic,graphical and map 
based questions.The candidate should be given alternative text based non-visual 
questions instead of visual input based questions.
A facility for the request to the same(non visual alternative questions) needs 
to be provided at the time of filling up the examination form/course 
registration form.
The candidate will have the freedom to opt for the visual questions,if they so 
choose.
The said preference will be recorded in the appropriate form.

Impaired Candidates should exempted from drawing diagram,graphs,maps etc. in 
University level as well as College level exam and gives equal marks to that 
visual input i.e.diagrams,graphs and maps based questions.
