Abstract

At the national and international levels, numerous initiatives have been made to integrate disabled children into the educational system. However, this large population of children with disabilities can only be assisted with the use of alternative strategies and programmes in schools rather than only special school settings. Various NGOs are working to enrol, prepare materials, and supply assistive and adaptive aids for the disabled children. There are several issues with instructors’ and parents’ unfavourable attitudes and behaviours regarding the capacity of disadvantaged children to learn. The requirements of people with disabilities are currently being met by a large number of special schools in India. However, the needs of the entire population cannot be met by these schools. To satisfy the requirements of students with special educational needs, a school-based support team comprised of parents and student volunteers should be created. Students with disabilities may develop lifelong connections that they otherwise would not be able to, and these friendships can help them develop the coping mechanisms they will need to deal with interpersonal interactions in the future. Children with special needs always require respect and assistance from society rather than sympathy. For the sake of their own dignity and the benefit of society, they demand that their skills and talents be fully acknowledged.
