State Project Office of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) or “Anaivarukkum Kalvi Thittam” of Tamilnadu has given a new thrust to the empowerment of Children with Special Needs (CWSN) through Inclusive Education in the state all these years. SSA is constantly working on its objective of Universalization of Elementary Education (UEE) under Right To Education (RTE) by inclusion of Children with Special Needs and mainstreaming them into Primary Education on the principles of ‘Zero Rejection Policy’.
The interventions under SSA for inclusive education are identification, functional and formal assessment, appropriate educational placement, preparation of Individualized Educational Plan, provision of aids and appliances, teacher training, resource support, therapies for rehabilitation, removal of architectural barriers, research, monitoring, evaluation, curriculum adaptations, capacity building for educators and a special focus on girls with special needs for their education.
Now, a 3-Day Training programme is conducted for Special Educators who work for Children with Special Needs enrolled in Mainstreamed Schools, Day Care Centres and Home Based Training schemes from 19th November 2014 to 21st November 2014.
SSA is organizing and conducting this Master level training programme where around 60 Special Educators (as Master trainers) from all the Districts of Tamilnadu are given training on various aspects involved in Inclusive Education and introduced to Information Communication Technology / Assistive Technology as a educational tool. The success stories of implementation of inclusive education are shared, discussed for improvements in other parts, and finally on topics of how to guide the regular school teachers or educators to help the Children with Special Needs in their learning process by adapting an inclusive classroom environment.
These Master trainers will carry forward the inclusive education initiatives by creating awareness, conducting trainings, working out integration possibilities with the regular teachers of schools in their own respective Districts to achieve the objective of SSA for the empowerment of Children with Special Needs.
