Teacher & Peer Education Programme
To facilitate the integration and inclusion of students with physical disabilities in mainstream schools, SPD organises workshops for teachers on understanding physical disability and the challenges faced by children with physical disabilities. Basic wheelchair handling techniques are taught. Accessibility issues are highlighted as a major concern for the full participation of people with disabilities in mainstream activities.
Social workers also visit schools to work with the principals/teachers on how to improve the accessibility of the school environment or modify the classroom setting and lessons for students with physical disabilities.
