Medical conditions covered under special needs

Hi Sakshi, all,

Does anyone have an idea about medical conditions covered under special needs? I am assuming that the same will vary from school to school, specifically, any idea if schools consider children with type 1 / juvenile diabetes under this category? Technically, these children can very well study with mainstream kids, and only require additional care in terms of insulin injections / blood sugar monitoring / etc.

Look forward to your replies.

Thanks,

Luv

Disability Guidelines
Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Rules, 1996 required that a disability certificate shall be issued by a medical board duly constituted by the Central/State Government. This required a lot of time and travel by persons with disabilities to the district headquarters. Often full medical boards are not able to meet on a given day causing yet more delay and inconvenience. Therefore Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment has amended the Persons with Disabilities Rules, 1996 in December 2009 with a view to simplify the process of issuing disability certificates. A doctor can now, assess and issue the certificate even at PHC in case of visible disabilities such as amputations, complete paralysis, and blindness. A specialist doctor can do so in other cases. For multiple disabilities however more than one specialist will be necessary.
