What about starting a devision for these children, in one or two
school in a district by providing accessibility training?  This will
empower them and help them to mingle with the normal students.

Hello,
Thanks for the information. I tried the app and is good, price is reasonable rs 
550. To purchase the app you would need to contact sparsh products their email 
id is sparshprodu...@gmail.com 
I discussed with sparsh products and the application would be launched on 
playstore next week when the support for pdf is implemented. The users will get 
a free upgrade to the next version.

Re: [AI] share my openion on mix and match regarding

2016-01-15 Thread shraddha edke
Hi.

Greetings…

The topic on the list triggered me too to write, as it reminded me
about the Term Paper(Secondary Research) carried out by me in my
second year PG Course on , CREATIVE TEACHING METHODS FOR SPECIAL NEEDS
CHILDREN!

Sharing with you all just a short relevant portion from it!

Meaning of Special Education
Special education refers to the teaching of learning-disabled students
in ways outside of the norm. This is done by giving students more
individual attention than they would normally receive. Therefore
special education programs are typically more expensive per capita
than their counterparts. Nowadays, it; is common for special education
training to be a requirement to become a certified teacher.
(M. L Dhawan, 2005).

ADVANTAGES OF SPECIAL EDUCATION
 Special Attention- Special schools provide students with individual
attention that they would likely not receive in public schools. As a
result, learning and development can occur more rapidly and children
are not ignored or neglected due to not being able to keep pace with
the rest of the class.
Teacher Training- Teachers in special schools are specifically trained
to deal with students with needs. They have the knowledge and tools
necessary to educate the students, and they have an understanding of
how students' disabilities affect their ability to learn. The teachers
also possess the patience needed to work with special students
Sense Of Belonging- Special schools promote a sense of inclusion among
the students. Rather than feeling like they are outsiders, special
students can bond with others with similar disabilities. This can help
them develop a sense of confidence and self-esteem.
DISADVANTAGES OF SPECIAL EDUCATION
Lack of Socialization- A disadvantage of this feeling of inclusion can
occur when the student attempts to return to public school or to
assimilate into regular society. They may have difficulty relating to
others who are not like them, so they may feel like outcasts. In some
instances, the student may not be able to function outside of the
school's environment.
Expense- Unlike public schools, special schools often require parents
to pay money out of their own pocket for their child to attend. If the
cost is prohibitive, the parents may not be able to provide the child
with the needed special attention. In some cases, grants or government
aid can help lessen the financial burden.
http://www.ehow.com/list_5970010_advantages-disadvantages-special-
schools.htm l#ixzz1E0yaZ300UG

CONCEPT AND MEANING OF INCLUSIVE EDUCATION:
As we had seen above, there is Special Education approach which can be
adopted to teach the children with disability wherein the child will
be segregated from the normal school and will be given training
separately, while at the same time there is also an Inclusive
Education Approach which can be adopted where the Differently Abled
Child can be a part of a Normal School and can learn with the normal
children just by adopting certain Creative and Special techniques to
teach them. There has been a lot of talk about mainstreaming
differently abled students with normal student but teachers have to
have the special skills to teach these differently abled students for
which this paper will try to provide guidance.

Inclusive education means all learners, young people - with or without
disabilities being able to learn together in ordinary schools and
community educational setting with appropriate network of support
services. In inclusive education the needs of all learners are
addressed so that good education can be provided to all. However,
since the learners with disabilities form one of the largest groups
that are still out of the fold of general education, the target group,
therefore, on which this scheme will focus, would be learners with
disabilities. The term 'learners with disabilities' will cover visual
impairments (Blind and Low Vision), speech and hearing impairments,
Locomotor disabilities, neuromusculoskeltal neurodevelopmental
disorders including cerebral Palsy, Autism, mental retardation,
multiple disability and learning disabilities
(M. L Dhawan, 2005).

 ADVANTAGES OF INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
 Effective Learning- In inclusive education, children with and without
disabilities is all expected to study, learn, read, and write. By
having higher expectations for children with disabilities coupled with
good and effective instruction, they quickly learn academic skills.
Because the philosophy and mission of inclusive education is intended
to help all students to learn, all children in the class benefit from
the method of instruction. Based on evidence from the National Center
for Education Restructuring and Inclusion, children with disabilities
in the classroom tend to show academic achievement in several areas
including improved performance on mastery of IEP goals, standardized
tests, motivation to study and learn, overall good grades and
classroom behavior. Also, children with disabilities who are
instructed

hello,
Recently, Sparsh Product Dehradun has launched most awaited and highly
useful  app called ‘Accessible Reader’ providing the navigational
support to read the files of various formats like txt, doc, docs, rtf
etc.

I have used this app successfully  on my mobile Moto X 2nd generation
running the android version  6  marshmello. The best advantage of this
app is that you need not to purchase the separate tts to make use of
this software unlike Voice Dream Reader which require you to purchase
the separate tts to read the files like doc docs etc. Also so far  we
do not have any app to read our files in Indian  languages like Hindi,
Marathi etc.

This app is completely free of any adds even running in demo or full version.

Once you open the app, you have the several options presented like
open the file to browse the files located on your mobile using your
integrated file manager, open the last file without repeating the
browse file option as it remembers the file history you have worked
earlier. Multiple  Reading options for instance, read by word,
sentence, paragraph, page and so on. You need to simply tap on your
desired choice and your prefered tts reads to you. It does remember
the last  reading speed of your document, position where you closed
the file so if you open the same file again, you are at the same
position to continue further.

If you are working on larger  documents and tired of reading and if
you would like to relax for sometime, it also gives you the option to
toggle on play/pause. If you require to read the whole document
continuously, you just have to tap on read all button and this app
reads to you the entire document at one go!

Another best option I really enjoyed is that in whichever navigation
you are working with say for instance, word, paragraph etc and if you
missed out to listen, you can tap on repeat button and this app can
repeat  that same occurance  again.

To start using with this app, initially you have to choose between
the engine installed on your mobile. If you have to read the document
in Hindi, you have to select Google TTS or Vocaliser Lekha if
installed. Just make sure that the tts with which you intend to read
the file is different from the default TTS of your phone as you can
not use the default engine to read the files. So once you make the
selection of your prefered engine, you have to choose the voices i.e.
languages like Hindi, English etc depending on the file you want to
read. You need not make this selection everytime when you open this
app as these settings are saved permanently unless you require to
change the same.

Another advantage of this app is especially for beginners who are
finding difficulties reading the documents faster. So you need not go
to the tts settings all the way  to make it slower. You can reduce the
speed of your reading as per your convenience tapping on slower/faster
on the app screen itself. While reading your document, if you wish to
jump quickly on any desired page number at any time, you have to
simply tap on go to page number button and your phone keyboard pops up
at the bottom to enter the page number.

This app also let you see the status of your file informing you the
percentage of file you have red, current  page number etc.

Currently, this app does not  supports pdf file so hoping to have this
format added by them in the future.

So if you are interested to try this app, you can use the following
link to download it’s demo version. The app would work for two minutes
after which it would close. Then you would have to open it again.
The 2 minute restriction would be removed once the application is
activated.

This app is ideally suited for the students, working employees and
each one of us who love to read the documents. I have liked it’s
features very much and purchased the licence for myself. Currently
this app has  not been launched on playstore so you have to contact
it’s developers Sparsh Products personally. Now the download link:

indian languages more accessible on our phone!

Dear All,

Greetings from Eyeway Helpdesk!

Follow below the Daily Eyeway Alerts:

1.  The concept of inclusion is considered important in all fields
nowadays. Inclusive education for differently-abled children is one
such attempt to include children with various kinds of disabilities in
normal schools. The idea is that through inclusive education,
differently-abled children will get an opportunity to mingle with
normal children from an early age. It will help increase their
confidence level, improving their competency, and they will be able to
boldly express their talent before others. This will ultimately lead
to bringing the differently-abled into the mainstream at at early age.

2.  SINGAPORE — In the past, Mr Danny Chia, who is partially visually
impaired, had to be accompanied by a friend to help him out with basic
transactions, such as cash withdrawals, at an automatic teller
machine.
If he was alone and had to seek a stranger’s help, he had to tell the
person how much money he wanted to withdraw and also be assisted with
keying in his PIN number.
Today, Mr Chia, 56, will no longer need such help, thanks to POSB’s
“talking ATMs”.

one best advantage of this app is that even you can deactivate the
same from one mobile and activate with the same licence on the other
phone even if  that phone has the different email account as primary
one.

generally, when you purchase any app and try to install it on the
other mobile with the same email account, the app works as licence one
but if you try to activate with other email account then the you have
to forgo with your licence apps.

so hoping to have best advantage of this feature.

 Firstly, the pronunciation part.
 I can furnish numerous examples in Hindi, where different people
 pronounce
 the same word differently due to regional considerations.
 Secondly, when we record an answer, little time is left for the process
 of
 thinking. Either you pause the recording frequently, or you have to
 speak
 flawlessly and continuously.
 During the recording, a shrill horn from a nearby vehicle may disturb
 the
 recording and the checker may not get the recording correctly.
 Many more such disturbances may occur resulting in a bad recording.

hello,
Recently, Sparsh Product Dehradun has launched most awaited and highly
useful  app called ‘Accessible Reader’ providing the navigational
support to read the files of various formats like txt, doc, docs, rtf
etc.

I have used this app successfully  on my mobile Moto X 2nd generation
running the android version  6  marshmello. The best advantage of this
app is that you need not to purchase the separate tts to make use of
this software unlike Voice Dream Reader which require you to purchase
the separate tts to read the files like doc docs etc. Also so far  we
do not have any app to read our files in Indian  languages like Hindi,
Marathi etc.

This app is completely free of any adds even running in demo or full
version.

Once you open the app, you have the several options presented like
open the file to browse the files located on your mobile using your
integrated file manager, open the last file without repeating the
browse file option as it remembers the file history you have worked
earlier. Multiple  Reading options for instance, read by word,
sentence, paragraph, page and so on. You need to simply tap on your
desired choice and your prefered tts reads to you. It does remember
the last  reading speed of your document, position where you closed
the file so if you open the same file again, you are at the same
position to continue further.

If you are working on larger  documents and tired of reading and if
you would like to relax for sometime, it also gives you the option to
toggle on play/pause. If you require to read the whole document
continuously, you just have to tap on read all button and this app
reads to you the entire document at one go!

Another best option I really enjoyed is that in whichever navigation
you are working with say for instance, word, paragraph etc and if you
missed out to listen, you can tap on repeat button and this app can
repeat  that same occurance  again.

To start using with this app, initially you have to choose between
the engine installed on your mobile. If you have to read the document
in Hindi, you have to select Google TTS or Vocaliser Lekha if
installed. Just make sure that the tts with which you intend to read
the file is different from the default TTS of your phone as you can
not use the default engine to read the files. So once you make the
selection of your prefered engine, you have to choose the voices i.e.
languages like Hindi, English etc

in case you want to use this app on other phone, you have to first
deactivate the app from the first phone and then activate the app
again on other phone using the same activation code.

hope this clarifies the doubt.

 It seems promising. You have mentioned that you have bought the license
 of
 the app. What is the procedure and why are they not launching it on play
 store? I would also like to support the developer.

 All
 Just to clarify, KNFB reader is an app running on both Iphone and
 Android.
 Hence, it should be discussed on the mobile.AI list. Request members
 to continue this thread there. I am marking a cc on the Mobile.ai
 list.
 Secondly, I understandsome phone stands are also available abroad to
 fascilitate better scan alignment problem.
  Finally, this should not be looked as a primary scanning tool. It is
 designed for casual use for quickly reading menues in a restaurant,
 bills etc.

The Mumbai High Court has stayed the GR issued by the Maharashtra State 
government. Pasting the news article below.


Stay on adult writer sop for special kids
Mumbai:

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/Stay-on-adult-writer-sop-for-special-kids/articleshow/50568590.cms

The Bombay high court on Wednesday stayed the Maharashtra government's 
resolution providing adult writers during examinations for students with

special needs.

On January 8, the state issued a government resolution changing the 
concessions available for students with special needs during examination. 
Among the
key changes that the state introduced were providing adult writers for 
students with special needs during the board exams and extending all 
provisions

to school exams from class I to IX.

Psychiatrist Harish Shetty, who is on the high court's expert panel said, 
"Though we welcome the state's endeavour to improve the life of children 
with
disability, the use of adult writers for all students with special needs is 
a cause for concern. We pointed this out to the court on Wednesday. This 
needs

to be debated with state."

The HC was hearing a suo motu public interest litigation on the issue of 
difficulties faced by children with learning disability. The PIL was taken 
up
after news reports last year stated that National Institute of Open 
Schooling had sought to deny writers to students with LD without any notice 
to parents

about a change in rules

According to new set of concessions, the students were going to be able to 
avail the service of an adult writer during the class X and XII board 
examination.
The writer would be provided as required and cannot be the student's parents 
or family members. The writer must be approved by the school after 
verification.
For school examinations, students will be able to avail of a writer, a year 
younger. However, according to Dr Shetty schools and students may misuse 
this

provision and use adult writers even when not necessary.

The changes in provisions were made according to the suggestions made by a 
committee of experts formed under Gangadhar Mhamane, chairperson, 
Maharashtra

State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education.

Hey access Indians,

Hope you are doing great and 2016's been treating you well. I recently got 
to know that Maharashtra Board for Education has relaxed the writer's 
guidelines. As per the new rule, students can take any individual (not a 
relative) as their writer. Please share with me the GR for the same.



   Cheers!
