First of all, thank you so much for exposing the issues within the Indian education system for persons with disabilities. Here are my thoughts:
Heads of institutions, staff, and teachers must undergo special training. Every year, mainstream teachers should visit special schools to learn about the technology available for people with disabilities. Every mainstream school must have a disability coordinator to address related issues. Study materials must be made available for students with disabilities. State governments should encourage special education teachers and avoid negative perceptions, such as criticizing the use of blackboards. Mainstream schools should regularly seek advice and support from reputed special education organizations. Every blind child should be introduced to assistive technology from the early years, ideally from Standard 1. Printed and accessible materials must be provided. The government should introduce tools that allow students with disabilities to complete academic work without relying on scribes.

The school was asked to provide admission to the aggrieved child with autism. The court upheld accessibility and reasonable accommodation to be the cornerstone of education and inclusion. https://www.deccanherald.com/opinion/why-schools-must-embrace-inclusion-3655006 Please read and share comments.
