Disability is not Inability

:: Support an Rural ICT Project for disability:


Background Guidelines for assessing the ICT needs

* You can contact a school for or with children with disabilities...

* Most schools may or may not have electricity...

* In Which alternative sources of power would be advisable if the power lines are too far...

* In many an area solar energy is cost effective because power lines may be too far or installation may be expensive for the school to maintain.

* The electricity project may benefit the school immensely especially if they have children with communication disabilities.

* ICT may have to be second project after electricity in schools which lack electricity.

* Many teachers may have also to be trained first on how to integrate ICT in training children with dissabilities.

* In schools that have units for children with disabilties... a children with various disabilities may likely be taught in one class...

* There may be inadequate classrooms for separating the children according to their special needs...

* in cases where they are integrated into mainstream class, chances are that the teacher may not have the skills or the time to provide qualilty inclusion of the child with special needs.

* in cases where children with special needs are in a separate unit chances are that the teachers may not be in the payroll of the Teachers Service Commission and theus are not adequately remunerated. The pupils may also not have instruction materials to assist any individual, group or class learning.
