Special Education Units

It was found that any child who had any additional handicap besides blindness could not be admitted in the Preparatory unit which was for blind students only. Similarly, other organisations like schools for mentally handicapped children or hearing impaired children could not admit a child with additional handicap of blindness.

In order to provide education to blind children with additional disabilities specialist education units are required. The children in the age group of 4-14 are admitted into the special education units where they are given preschool training and training in daily living skills. Services are provided on a regular, part-time and homebound basis. Training towards independence is given in areas of motor development, personal activities, social and communication skills, academic areas, pre-vocational training and sensory situation. After this intensive training the children are admitted to various regular schools where they study along with their sighted counterparts under a scheme called ‘Integrated Education for Disabled children’. The objective is that the deafblind students must get upgraded into the main stream of the society and improve their life.
