CBSE Circular: Integration of Children with Special Needs (CWSN)

CBSE Circular: Integration of Children with Special Needs (CWSN)
Dear Principals,
Further to our Circular No. 45 dated 29th Oct.,2008 where schools were
advised vide Annexure (enclosed) to ensure that no child with special needs is
denied admission in main stream schools, it has been observed that there are
many schools affiliated to CBSE who are not abiding by this directive.
There seems to be a misconception among schools and school authorities on
various issues pertaining to children with special needs. The children with
special needs face challenges in learning as they may not be able to focus on
the teacher during classroom interaction or their pace of learning may vary.
Moreover social skills and emotional skills may need to be further
strengthened.
To overcome these problems generally an aid is given to the child. An aid is
an adult sitting along with the special child encouraging and motivating the
child to move along with the class.
Schools are advised to allow parents when they make a request to provide an
aid so that individual attention is possible for the child and enables the
student to grow and learn along with the other peers in the class.
Further inclusive education also needs to be done with an Individual
Evaluation Program. Specific goals should be set for each child with special
need based upon the appraisal. For this purpose the schools need to have a
special educator as has already been recommended earlier.
It is being reiterated that any school which fails to provide attention to a
child with special needs or makes a pretext of denying admission to any
category of a differently abled child will be liable to stringent action even to
the extent of disaffiliation.
The Guidelines on Inclusive Education of Children with Disabilities is once
again enclosed for dissemination to all stakeholders which includes parents of
the school.

Yours sincerely
(VINEET JOSHI)
SECRETARY & CHAIRMAN
