Question

"In a country where half the children in the age group of 5-14 years are out of school, how can there be space for children with disabilities, especially if a segregated schooling is being advocated for them ?"

State two ways by which a disabled child can achieve autonomy.

Accepted Answer

Inclusive education:
The disabled child should study in a normal school along with other children, rather than in a separate segregated institution. Learning and playing with other children builds confidence, social skills and a sense of belonging.
Barrier-free access and enabling aids:
Ramps, accessible toilets and transport, and aids such as Braille books, hearing devices and wheelchairs allow the child to move about and study without depending on others.

Along with these, vocational training and a change in social attitudes, so that the disabled are seen as capable rather than as objects of pity, are essential for real autonomy.
