---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "habeeb. c" <[email protected]> Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2014 06:48:53 -0800 Subject: the inclusion of a module on the differently abled in the teachers orientation courses regarding To: [email protected] From. Habeeb C. Vice President Kerala Federation of the Blind. To. Prof. Vedprakash, Chairman UGC. Sir, Sub:The inclusion of a module on how to deal with the children with special needs in the orientation courses regarding. I'm an assistant professor of English working at Farook College Calicut, Kerala affiliated to the university. I'm also the Vice President of Kerala federation of the Blind, the largest nonprofit charitable organisation of the visually impaired in Kerala. I'm currently attending the 87th orientation course of the UGC Academic Staf college, University of Calicut. On going through the modules of the orientation courses of most of our Universities, it is understood that no session is included in these courses on how to deal with the children with special needs in our orientation courses. Our educational sphere is becoming more inclusive, since more and more differently abled students are getting accommodated in our institutions. The opportunities offered through reservations as well as the new accessibility created by the technology is increasing this process. However, irrespective of the present technological explosion and the subsequent call for equality and opportunity, many of our differently abled children are either neglected or discriminated as a result of the ignorance and the corollary indifference of our teachers. This issue can be solved to a great extend, if we can provide the teachers an awareness about this area in the orientation courses that they attend. Many of the sessions included in such courses are not socially relevant in the context of our academic scenario. However, the present session is a very essential one. Hence, as an activist for the rights of the disabled and a differently abled belonging to the Academic sector, i request you to issue a decree to our Academic staff Colleges that a session should be included on How to deal with the children with Special needs in our Higher educational scenario, in the orientation courses periodically conducted. regards -- Habeeb C.
