Inclusive Education
When ROSHNI first started, very few disabled children attended mainstream school in Gwalior. Now there are over 50 children registered with ROSHNI who are regularly attending a mainstream school on a full-time basis.
ROSHNI support these children in many ways.
- They run regular training programmes for mainstream school teachers to help them understand the nature of the children's difficulties, and how to help them access education.
- School visits are undertaken by therapy and educational staff to assess the working environment and advise on changes which need to be made.
- Children are seen as out-patients by the Special Educators, and supplementary educational programmes are given to parents and teachers to further assist the child with their education.
- Children from low-income families may be provided with funding to allow them to travel to school and pay the school fees, through the Child Sponsorship Programme.
- Specialist equipment such as wheelchairs and supportive seating may be provided to allow the children to access the school, and maintain a good posture during lessons.
