The ‘Degree of Inclusion’ in Inclusive Education, Prerogative of Schools and Difficulties of Special Needs Educators
Journal Title: INDIAN JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
This article explores the current difficulties in the Special Needs field from the perspectives of various stakeholders such as the schools, the Special Educators, the Special Needs students as well as the popular opinions and views about research and attempts to graphically represent the scenario for better understanding. Large-scale disconnect between the actual receivers of Special Education-efforts, the Special Educators and the bureaucracy and media who are largely running after a fad without paying heed to actual in-field realizations and understandings, which in turn is causing more harm than good is being seen. Special Needs Educators are being pressurized to give results in instances where it is quite difficult to get those results and in cases of failure, the blame is put on their capabilities.
