Should students with mental health conditions be allowed admission to MBBS? SC directs NMC to review guidelines - Times of India News News: The Supreme Court has instructed the National Medical Council’s expert committee to review its guidelines for assessing disabilities. This order respo

which educational approach is recommended for children with intellectual disability?
option 1. regular education curriculum
option 2. social-competency based curriculum
option 3. no-specific curriculum
option 4. standardised curriculum

The correct answer is option 2: "Social-competency based curriculum".

Children with intellectual disabilities benefit from a curriculum that focuses on developing social and adaptive skills, such as:

- Communication
- Self-care
- Social interactions
- Emotional regulation
- Daily living skills

A social-competency based curriculum prioritizes these skills, helping individuals with intellectual disabilities to:

- Develop independence
- Build relationships
- Participate in their community
- Lead fulfilling lives

Here's why the other options aren't recommended:

- Option 1: "Regular education curriculum" may not be tailored to meet the unique needs of children with intellectual disabilities.
- Option 3: "No-specific curriculum" lacks direction and focus, potentially hindering progress.
- Option 4: "Standardized curriculum" may not account for individual differences and needs.

A social-competency based curriculum is often implemented in special education settings, where teachers and support staff work together to create personalized learning plans

JNVs have been permitted to engage the services of the special educators on need basis with the help of NGOs engaged in
professional services to Children ‘with Special Need’ (CwSN) locally depending upon the requirement of children.

As per JNV Inclusive Education for CwSN is Need Based not Right Based.. Even enacted of RPwD Act, 2016... it is permissable?

The Department has sanctioned financial assistance of Rs.
716.60 crore for 33,109 special educators for the year 2022-23.

Still Inclusive Education is running on Scheme Based not on Right based...

How drastically declined CwSN enrollment from 2014-15 to 2020-21 even the disabilities enhanced 7 to 21 after enacted of RPwD Act, 2016.

It evidents that, no recruitment of Special Educators in Class room system in entire country failures of implementing authourities. Still we fight for it. how pathetic it is!

As per the 2011 census in India, over 61 per cent of disabled children attend educational institutions and 12 per cent of disabled population attended schools earlier. But 27 per cent of them did not do so.
