Inclusive Education

Integration Education is believed to be the first step for inclusion of the visually impaired persons into the mainstream society. Integrated education is of paramount importance for the inclusive growth of blind children. It aims at providing the similar educational environment and learning experiences to them that their sighted counterparts enjoy. This teaching model proposes visually impaired and sighted children to study and play together in a regular classroom. Integrated education brings the blind and the sighted children close to each other from an early age, making them aware of each other's unique needs, potentials and strengths, creating better understanding and acceptance. It plays a pivotal role in bringing them on the same platform. Today, a large number of government and private schools have opened their doors for children with special needs. NAB J&K extends its prompt support to such mainstream schools where blind and low vision children study. It works to devise appropriate teaching techniques and learning environment for the success of visually impaired students.
