Annai Illam is a residential hostel attached to our school offering an opportunity to the children with disabilities to continue their education. Children with disabilities living in the villages are finding it very difficult to attend school due to their mobility problems. Hence, our residential hostel helps them to continue their studies.<\/p>\n

Regular medical attention, physiotherapy, private tuition, counseling and guidance services, daily prayer, and good nutritious food, etc. are being provided. Children with disabilities studying in other schools are also admitted to our hostel to continue their education.<\/p>\n

Inclusive Education for the Disabled is one of the components of the Government of India\u2019s Sarva Siksha Abiyan (Education for All) aiming to provide useful and relevant elementary education for all children including special children in the age group of 6 to 14 by the year 2012.<\/p>\n

Inclusive Education has been a part of the school system since the passing of the persons with disabilities Act in 1995 and the 86th constitutional Amendment. Inclusion professes to do just what it says \u2013include all children, regardless of skill level or needs in age-appropriate classrooms. Classrooms and schools across the country have brought children with disabilities into the regular classroom as part of their learning experience.<\/p>\n

Inclusive Education for the Disabled focuses on,<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Identifying the children with special needs<\/li>\n
  2. Mainstreaming them in the regular schools and<\/li>\n
  3. Providing them with aids and appliances to make the learning process complete.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
