CBSE Schools Most Insensitive (India) disabled Peoples international assists organizations in over 120 nations with 80 schools that were surveyed, only 686 were children with special needs. http://www.dpi.org/en/resources/current_news/11-04-04_cbse.htm
Extractions: Out of 80 schools surveyed in the study, 24 did not "allow disabled children to be admitted to their institutions". In Delhi, Modern Schools (Vasant Vihar and Barakhamba Road), Delhi Public School (Mathura Road), Air Force Bal Bharati had not given admission to any disabled child in 2001-02. Mumbai's Campion school, St Xavier's and Jamnabai Narsee; Kolkata's Loreto, Don Bosco, Ashok Hall; Chennai's Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan, Padma Sheshadari and Maharishi Vidya Mandir; and Guwahati's Don Bosco and Holy Child schools also did not have any disabled student on rolls during this period. Schools affiliated to CBSE were most insensitive to this cause, the report says. Out of 1.4 lakh students enrolled in the 80 schools that were surveyed, only 686 were children with special needs. "Seven out of these 80 had only one student with disability, 80% had less than 10," the report says.

Extractions: Universite de Montreal We suggest a new framework for conducting research in the field of special education. This framework is inspired by the ecological risk assessment frameworks of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (1995) and G.W. Suter (1993), which are primarily used in ecotoxicology and environmental toxicology. The framework includes three phases by which an ecological risk assessment can be performed: problem formulation, measurement, and risk characterization. By outlining each of its phases, this article defines, illustrates, and explains the possible applications of an ecological risk assessment framework to the field of special education. For practical reasons, we provide an example of this first application based on persons with intellectual disabilities. ... [ more

Extractions: It is often an excellent way of promoting a better participation of disabled people in mainstream society and creating an awareness of the need to focus on the abilities of individuals. Disabled people have been participating in sports for many years. It was at the beginning of the 19th century that members of the medical profession discovered the important contribution that sporting activities could make to promoting the integration of disabled people within society and within the scope of rehabilitation. After the Second World War, when the number of military and civil casualties was extremely high, sport for those with physical disabilities came to play an increasingly important role. The Stoke Mandeville Games, the first competition for wheelchair athletes, was founded on the first day of the Olympic Games in London on 28 July 1948.

Extractions: PARIS 07-SP. Full text (Unesco web site) In June 1994 representatives of 92 governments and 25 international organisations formed the World Conference on Special Needs Education, held in Salamanca, Spain. They agreed a dynamic new Statement on the education of all disabled children, which called for inclusion to be the norm. In addition, the Conference adopted a new Framework for Action , the guiding principle of which is that ordinary schools should accommodate all children, regardless of their physical, intellectual, social, emotional, linguistic or other conditions. All educational policies, says the Framework , should stipulate that disabled children attend the neighbourhood school 'that would be attended if the child did not have a disability.' The Statement begins with a commitment to Education for All, recognising the necessity and urgency of providing education for all children, young people and adults 'within the regular education system.' It says those children with special educational needs 'must have access to regular schools' and adds:

Extractions: Under Secretary for Management Bureau of Human Resources Family Liaison Office Education and Youth Issues There are unique challenges inherent in raising children with special needs, and this is especially so in the internationally mobile lifestyle of the Foreign Service. There has been a significant effort to increase the number of programs for children with special needs in American-international schools around the world. However, the quality of these programs varies greatly from school to school, and even from year to year. While more children who have mild learning disabilities are adequately served in international schools, children with moderate to severe disabilities still encounter major challenges. In addition to the lack of available programs overseas, very often there is also a lack of other support or therapeutic specialists to serve the requirements of special needs children. The Family Liaison Office strongly urges families to carefully research their options before bidding on and accepting an overseas assignment. There are several offices in the Department of State that work together to assist families of children with special needs. Special Needs Resource Information from the Department of State . Additionally, the Office of Overseas Schools offers the brochure
Extractions: Image courtesy of UNESCAP Did you know that 10% to 20% of people around the world are disabled? Too often their freedoms are restricted - and their potential overlooked. To encourage more people to think about and act on the issues facing disabled people, in 1992 the United Nations observed the first ever International Day of Disabled Persons. It's been taking place on 3 December ever since. This year's campaign strapline is 'Nothing About Us Without Us'. The focus is on the active involvement of persons with disabilities in the planning of strategies and policies that affect their lives. Image courtesy of Photovoice Mainstreaming: DFID is working towards mainstreaming disability throughout all areas of our work, so that the needs of disabled people are taken into account at all stages of planning and implementing our activities - and ensuring that disabled people are consulted about issues that affect them.
