This paper featured a report on a South Mumbai school for children and young adults with Special Education Needs (SEN) celebrating its golden jubilee year. Senior staffers and the principal spoke about standouts and highlights and their experience of dealing with special kids in a challenging environment.

There was one interesting point when an educator said that parents have high expectations and hope to send these special children to regular or mainstream schools. While inclusion is important, there needs to be an understanding at what stage a child with special needs can be ready to cope with the challenges of normalcy.
