Special Education in India
Started in 1880s by Christian missionaries
It was meant for ‘the disabled’ – on the grounds of charity
But only in the 1970s, the ‘charity model’ was found to be a faulty one and proposed to be changed into a ‘human rights model’ (NCERT Position Paper on Special Education, 2006)

1999: CBSE and ICSE made special provisions; 2000: classes I –XII; 2003: college courses including professional courses
Though inclusion was proposed, it has not yet been fully realized in practice.
Obvious from the B. Ed. syllabi of Regional Institutes of Education (RIEs), NCTE (proposed), CIE (New Delhi), etc.
An inclusive or accommodative curriculum: our need

What we can do...
Policy makers think that the success of inclusive education depends a lot “on the skills and attitudes of classroom teachers” (NCERT, p. 22)
Compulsory training for teachers (Pre- and in-)
Online courses http://www.rehabcouncil.nic.in/Default.aspx
Whole language approaches (Hamayan & Pfleger, 1987; McInnis & Hemming, 1995;)
![Page 24: Special Education in India](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814326550346895daf9470/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Total Physical Response (Asher, 1982), Cognitive Strategies Training (Chamot & O’Malley, 1987), Work-related Language Training (Friedenberg & Bradley, 1984), etc.
Careful analysis of individual learner’s problems should precede selection of teaching strategies.
