Making inclusive classrooms a reality
When we saw there were only 0.12 million registered special educators in India for 8 million children with a physical, neurological, or sensory disability, we asked: How can we fill the gap and enable these children to thrive in the mainstream?
The answer was Project Inclusion. An initiative to make all classrooms inclusive, so no child is left behind. How? By empowering regular teachers in government schools (along with special educators) to support children with visible and invisible disabilities.

Our Approach to Inclusivity
Inclusive environment in the classrooms begins by understanding, identifying, and acknowledging the unique needs of the learners. Project Inclusion enables teachers to ‘screen’ students for any special needs and ‘support’ their learning with appropriate classroom strategies. It is a three-phase approach:
Phase 1: Sensitisation
Through audio-visual and multilingual content, teachers are oriented to grasp the challenges faced by children with NDD, and equipped with learning the tools to identify and support such students.
Phase 2: Identifying Unique Needs
Using PI tools developed by experts, teachers identify students at risk of a disability (as recognized by the RPWD Act) and, create tailored classroom strategies to offer them support in an inclusive classroom.
Phase 3: Tailored Intervention
With guidance from PI mentors, teachers share case studies of students and select those that require focused attention. To meet their diverse needs, teachers then receive tailored education plans to improve learners’ behaviour and academic performance.
