INCLUSIVE EDUCATION: A ROADMAP FOR THE QUALITATIVE TRANSFORMATION IN EDUCATION

Abstract

Inclusive Education (IE) is a revolutionary approach in the system of education to cater to the educational needs of marginalized Children with Special Needs (CWSN). CWSN also aspire & hope for additional guidance in meeting academic, social & emotional milestones apart from their medical requirements. By embracing learner centric approach, the distinction of children can be erased right from the beginning of their journey in life as Able bodied & Children with special needs. This paper aims to highlight project strategies which can give an insight into an effortless introduction of IE curriculum in educational institutions. Early Intervention & detection modalities discussed in this paper will help in preventing the developmental delays in CWSN.\xa0 The authors recommend change in the curriculum based on the individual needs of children, regular evaluation of Policies by the Government, integrating Physical education & shift in the ideology of the stakeholders in educational institutions which will aid in overcoming existing hurdles thereby paving the way towards seamless inclusion of CWSN in mainstream teaching.
