Title

The Need for Disability Sensitization in Schools and Communities of India

Abstract

Persons with disabilities battle the pre-existing challenges that emerge as a result of their condition and often society can often further limit the accessibility of such persons in the forms of stigmatization and discrimination on the grounds of disability. 75% of children with special needs still remain out of school in India while the highest number of disabled persons are found between the age group of 10-19 years. Despite the prevalence of legislations upholding the Rights of Persons with disabilities, the lack of community sensitization continues to pose as a major barrier that limits inclusion. Ridicule, mockery, bullying and avoidance of students with disabilities among community members is prevalent due to the lack of disability awareness and inclusive education training that would ensure the normalization of students with disabilities in educational and community setups. Thus this paper aims to examine the need for disability sensitization among teachers and parents of primary governments schools. This is a sequential mixed-method study conducted in the districts of Hooghly and Howrah in the state of West Bengal. Participants were selected with the aid of purposive sampling method. Data was collected from teachers and parents through structured interview schedules and in-depth interview guides. While the analysis of this study was carried out with the assistance of SPSS and Atlas ti software. The results of this study reveal the lack of disability sensitization in schools and suggest for methods through which these barriers can be eliminated.
