Education to Go Long Way for Autistic Kids

Amidst the scenario when education boards across the country are incorporating changes in their curricula to make it friendlier for autistic students and students with learning disability, a large proportion opines that the system still needs to do a great deal in this regard. 

Autistic Kids


The allegations have been laid forthwith the cases that have sprung up in the recent past. Many feel that such underprivileged kids have to confront mistreatment and apathy from students, management and society at large. A seven year old kid for example faced expulsion in Mumbai and was forced to be admitted into school for special children. 

The incident took place in Jamnabai Narsee School of Andheri whereby the parents of the child filed plea in court against the move. The case is withheld at the state commission under protection of child rights. A leading activist, Aarti Makhijia remarked,” There are several concessions for children with autism and LD, but the education department and schools are still not ready to accommodate them."
