  9. Changing Role of Special Education The International Standard Classification of Education replaced the term special education as special needs education (1997)-educational intervention and support designed to address special educational needs irrespective of place of intervention

  10. Present Scenario

  11. The Programme of Action (1992) & PWD Act (1995) while promoting integrated education had also suggested a Pragmatic Placement Principle • The Salamance Statement (1995)- the special schools in their new found identity would become a much more flexible resource by working in partnership and creating a response to special needs, not only in alternative form of provision and intervention but within the mainstream classrooms, curricula and pedagogies themselves. Special and general education, in other words, are gearing to move a significant step closer together.

  12. Changing Scenario Inclusive Education Integrated Education Special Education

  13. Present Areas of Partnerships • Resource Support • Teacher Training • Additional Teaching • Early Intervention • Parental Guidance & Counseling

  14. Three things to be Considered for changing the nature of Special Education • The right to education- Differentiating Education as a human right from education as a means of achieving human rights eg. Economic and development rights • Challenging deterministic beliefs about ability- Conveying the anti deterministic (biological determinism) stand in teacher education programmes • Researching teaching practice- teachers need to persist in tinkering for expanding their repertoire of responses & research on difficulties students face may result in pedagogical practices that are inclusive for all learners
