<abstract>
<p>Educating every child is very essential, as they are the future citizens of a Country. A Child with Special Need (CWSN) may have a special educational need due to difficulty in learning. The outcome of educating the children with disability and learning difficulties with that of normal ones, represents the need for better developmental progress of CWSN. It reflects the need of special educators and paraprofessionals for CWSN. The paper aims at analyzing the CWSN and tabulated the different parameter associated with special education. The author designs a common standard KLMN SWASTIK MODEL to assist the special educators in bringing out their better proficiency for every CWSN and to the teachers of regular school as well. The proposed model gives positive directions in educating the CWSN for life by imparting to them basic life skills and possibilities for better outcome based on special education.</p>

<p>Education helps people to see the world as a just and fair place where everyone is given equal opportunities. It is a must for a promising, self sufficient, secure future and a stable life. In India special education as a separate system of education for disabled children outside the mainstream education system evolved way back in 1880s. Consequent on the success of international experiments in placing children with disabilities in regular schools, the Planning Commission in 1971 included in its plan a programme for integrated education. The Government launched the Integrated Education for Disabled Children (IEDC) scheme in December 1974. It was a Centrally Sponsored Scheme aimed to provide educational opportunities to children with special needs (CWSN) in regular schools and to facilitate their achievement and retention. All the schools in the area are expected to enroll-children with disabilities. Training programs were also given to Special educators<sup>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R1">1</xref>]</sup>.</p>
<p><bold>Special Education:</bold> The term &#x201C;Special Need Education&#x201D; (SNE) has come into use as a replacement for the term &#x201C;Special Education&#x201D;, as the older one was mainly understood to refer the education of all those children and youth whose needs arise from disabilities or learning difficulties. The Statement affirms: &#x201C;those with special educational needs must have access to regular schools which should accommodate them within child centered pedagogy capable of meeting these needs&#x201D;<sup>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R2">2</xref>]</sup>.</p>
<p>Special education therefore basically refers to &#x201C;educational programs and practices designed for students- who are handicapped or gifted, with mental, physical or emotional disabilities and hence require special teaching approaches, equipment or care within or outside a regular classroom.&#x201D; Disabilities may be mental, physical, emotional and developmental. So, within its range special needs, includes a number of impairments, some of which are: Speech and Language Impairment, Autism spectrum Disorder, Multiple Disabilities, Traumatic Brain Injury, Visual Impairment (including blindness), Hearing Impairment, Developmental Delay, Emotional Disturbance, Specific Learning Disability, Orthopedic Impairment, Other Health Impairments, Developmental delay, Intellectual Disability<sup>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R3">3</xref>]</sup>.</p>

<title>Working with Families of Children with Disabilities in India</title>
<p>Understanding family structure in India is important in the context of delivering services to children with disabilities.

<list-item><p>The family, in Indian society, is an institution by itself and a typical symbol of the collectivist culture of India right from the ancient times. The joint family system or an extended family has been an important feature of Indian culture, till a blend of urbanisation and western influence, began to affect in home and hearth. This is especially true of urban areas, where nuclear families have become the order of the day. There is no denying the fact that socio-economic factors have played their role in the joint family system getting diluted.</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>A joint family or undivided family is an extended family arrangement prevalent throughout the Indian subcontinent, particularly in India, consisting of many generations living in the same household, all bound by the common relationship<sup>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R5">5</xref>]</sup>.</p></list-item>

<list-item><p><bold>Relationships</bold>
<list list-type="bullet">
<list-item><p>Different relationships are addressed via different names. The nature of relationship also varies. Relations can be of equivalence, mutual respect or teasing in nature. In joint families the relation is dictatorial in nature. The Head of the family decides everything about other members of the family. In joint families in northern and central India between a bride or sister-in-law and her younger brother-in-law, a joking or teasing relationship is common, and the relationship towards an older brother-in-law is that of respectfulness<sup>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R7">7</xref>]</sup>.</p></list-item>

<title>Modern Education system</title>
<p>Universal and compulsory education for all children in the age group of 6-14 was a cherished dream of the new government of the Republic of India. This is evident from the fact that it is incorporated as a directive policy in article 45 of the constitution.</p>
<p>But this objective remains far away even more than half a century later. However, in the recent past, the government appears to have taken a serious note of this lapse and has made primary education a Fundamental Right of every Indian citizen. The pressures of economic growth and the acute scarcity of skilled and trained manpower must certainly have played a role to make the government take such a step. The expenditure by the Government of India on school education in recent years comes to around 3% of the GDP, which is recognized to be very low.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="S2_3">
<title>Modern family system</title>
<p>The present-day lifestyle is causing serious damage to the critical role played by a joint or an extended family system in preserving cultural values, traditions and customs, which have been passed on from generation to generation. However, at the same time, we, Indians must consider ourselves to be better placed than others because the concept of <italic>&#x2018;Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam&#x2019;</italic> (world is one family) is ingrained in our DNA. It is our duty to pass on the collective age-old wisdom to our succeeding generations.</p>

<sec id="S2_4">
<title>Women&#x2019;s emancipation</title>
<p>Societies evolve with changing times and any process that brings in progressive customs and practices should be welcomed by one and all. For instance, emancipation of women through education is essential to break the shackles of regressive social problems like child marriages, dowry menace, violence against women and superstitious customs. Women should not only be empowered through education, but they should be encouraged to be in the forefront of the battle against blind beliefs and customs, even if there is resistance from male-dominated patriarchal societies. As has been very aptly said educating a woman amounts to educating an entire family and a society, which is the fundamental requirement for the growth and progress of a nation.</p>

<title>Psychological transition in GIRL to transform as &#x201C;MOTHER&#x201D;</title>
<p>Mothers around the world have been celebrated for their full-time duties to raise generations. Their roles in society have been impeccable regardless of the setting. The question about how mothers raise their children has been under public scrutiny and many continue to debate the outcome. In the long run there is no school of parenting. Every mother uses what suits them to bring about the best child and be the champion mother<sup>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R10">10</xref>]</sup>.</p>
<sec id="S2_5_1">
<title>Ancient Mother</title>
<p>The way mothers raise their children has changed recently with influences from the modern and Western ideology. However, raising a child in the olden days was different and traditional mothers made sure the package had it all. &#x201C;We came from an era where your mother was your role model. You simply saw yourself through her and that was it. She taught you almost everything you needed to survive the world after and at the same time to be responsible. &#x201C;As a mother, children are in their best state to shape when they are young and that is the time one really needs to be the right mother.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="S2_5_2">
<title>Modern mother</title>
<p>A mother, had to make the child understand why it is bad to do wrong and for them to realise the consequences. A mother has to make them understand this concept at a very young age because as they grow, life will not always forgive them. A mother . do not want her children to be corrected by the prisons, hospital and the mortuary.&#x201D;Being a mother is a full time duty and society will always point a finger to the mother if her offspring do not come out right.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="S2_5_3">
<title>Significance of Modern Mother</title>
<list list-type="order">
<list-item><p>The modern mother is considered to be influenced by the book.</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>The modern mother is more of a teacher, distant from the child but equally influential.</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>Unlike traditional mothers, modern mothers are not always there for child. However does not take them away from motherly duties as they make ways to manoeuvre between the daily job and their responsibilities as a mother.</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>Regardless of the method mothers use to nurture their children, their role in society remains of paramount importance in determining the strength of generations to come. In many people&#x2019;s lives, their present living and desire to be whoever traces back to the backbone of their dreams- the mother.</p></list-item>

<title>Behavioural Management of children with intellectual disabilities (ID) in today&#x2019;s Scenario</title>
<p>Managing behavioral problems is a major concern in the comprehensive rehabilitation of people with ID. Children with ID that attend schools receive some form of behavioral management, irrespective of the nature of school (special or regular). In rural India, where the majority of children with ID do not attend school, there is no institutional support in place to help children with their behavioral problems.</p>
<p>In addition, the outreach activities performed by rehabilitation institutions in rural communities are poor. Insufficient awareness, misinformation, malpractice and social issues negatively affect the management of behavioral problems in children with ID in rural communities.</p>
<p>In the absence of institutional support, parents apply various methods of handling such behavioral problems. Three approaches are prominent in rural communities: First, parents often ignore the behavior. Second, they may offer the child something to eat or to play with. Finally, the third method involves punishing the child physically or verbally. According to the principles of behavior modification, children&#x2019;s undesired behaviors get stronger and more when behavior management involves inconsistent or inadequate reinforcement.</p>
<p>There is an unmet need for studies that focus on behavioral interventions for children with ID that live in low- and middle-income countries. For example, we do not yet know which ID benefit more from behavioral intervention or if there is any relationship between a child&#x2019;s intelligence quotient (IQ) (a child who has ID) and their behavioral improvement after an intervention.</p>
<p>The behavioral assessment scale for Indian children with mental retardation (BASIC-MR) was used to quantify the study subjects&#x2019; behavioral problems before and after we applied behavioral management techniques (baseline and post-intervention, respectively). The baseline and post-intervention scores were analyzed using the following statistical techniques: Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test for the efficacy of intervention; &#x03C7;<sup>2</sup> for group differences<sup>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R11">11</xref>]</sup>.</p>
<p>The outcome of this behavioral management study suggests that behavioral intervention can be effectively provided to children with ID in poor areas.</p>

<sec id="S3">
<title>EXISTING SPECIAL EDUCATION SYSTEM</title>
<p><bold>Historical Perspective</bold>: In India special education as a separate system of education for disabled children outside the mainstream education system evolved way back in 1880s. The first school for the deaf was set up in Bombay in 1883 and the first school for the blind at Amritsar in 1887. In 1947, the number of schools for blind increased to 32, for the deaf 30 and for mentally retarded 3.</p>
<sec id="S3_1">
<title>Mode of Special Education in Schools</title>
<p>Children with disabilities are educated in India through special schools. There exist a few schools exclusively for blind and deaf under government sector. But there is not any special provision in mainstream government schools for education other disabled children like low vision, leprosy cured, hearing impaired, locomotory disabled, mentally retarded, mentally ill, autism affected, cerebral palsy affected and multiple-disabled. These children with disabilities are nurtured to some extent through the special schools of non-government sector.</p>
<p>The term &#x201C;Special Need Education&#x201D; (SNE) has come into use as a replacement for the term &#x201C;Special Education&#x201D;, as older one was mainly understood to refer the education of all those children and youth whose needs arise from disabilities or learning difficulties. The Statement affirms: &#x201C;those with special educational needs must have access to regular schools which should accommodate them within child cantered pedagogy capable of meeting these needs&#x201D;.</p>

<title><italic>SURVA SHIKSHA ABYAN</italic> framework</title>
<p>Making schools barrier free to access for CWSN is incorporated in the SSA framework. 4.44 thousand Schools have ramps for CWSN. The play equipment can be designed depending on the child&#x2019;s abilities.</p>

<title>Special education Teacher</title>
<p>A Special Educator therefore has to have the following qualities: Organized; Patient; Intuitive; Creative; Detail oriented; Hard-working; Optimistic; Adaptable; Good sense of humour; A love for children; A love for teaching.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="S3_4">
<title>Educational considerations</title>
<p>A child with an intellectual disability can do well in school but is likely to need the individualized help that&#x2019;s available as special education and related services. The level of help and support that&#x2019;s needed will depend upon the degree of intellectual disability involved.

<p>IDEA requires that, at the latest, transition planning for students with disabilities must begin no later than the first IEP to be in effect when they turn 16. The IEP teams of many students with intellectual disabilities feel that it&#x2019;s important for these students to begin earlier than that. And they do.</p>

<title>Safety and security challenges</title>
<list list-type="bullet">
<list-item><p>Inside institutions in several countries, Human Rights Watch has documented that children with disabilities often face serious neglect and abuse, including beatings and psychological violence, sexual violence, involuntary and inappropriate medical treatment, use of abusive physical restraints, seclusion and sedation, denial of education and denial of regular contacts with families. These abuses can severely impede their physical, intellectual, emotional, and social development, and these harmful impacts are not limited to contexts in which the worst abuses take place.</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>Institutional care for children is also often characterized by physical, psychological, and sexual violence by staff and other children. Violence that children may experience in institutions is often long-term and can lead to severe developmental delays, various disabilities, irreversible psychological harm, and increased rates of suicide and criminal activity. Institutionalization also results in segregation of children with disabilities from their families and communities &#x2013; sometimes for their entire lives. They are separated from their parents and siblings and not provided with opportunities to form attachments.</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>Use of restraints and seclusion.</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>Children with disabilities living in institutions are often subjected to solitary confinement and prolonged use of restraints.

<title>PROPOSED SYSTEM</title>
<p>The Proposed system is designed to meet the limits and challenges that the existing system dealt with. This model suggests the outcome based on special education.</p>
<sec id="S4_1">
<title>Proposed KLMN SWASTIK MODEL</title>
<p>The KLMN SWASTIK is an acronym where k-knowing; L-Learning; M-mind mapping; N-New idea Contributing to the nation building and people binding from the child&#x2019;s nurturing. The Special Education Logo is the standard education logo that suits for all type of education namely, Google Education-Self-Learning, CWSN, Regular school Education, Home Education, NIOS-National Institute of Open Schooling, Gurukula learning for Vedic studies, Technology equipped online Education, etc., The KLMN SWASTIK teaching learning model<sup>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R16">16</xref>]</sup> for overall development of the child can be used as a teaching strategy for bringing change and transformation in the CWSN.</p>

<title>Challenges Associated with CWSN to proposed KLMN MODEL</title>
<list list-type="bullet">
<list-item><p>Do gender, age, population type, socioeconomic status, category of ID, interventional settings and associated conditions affect the outcome of behavioural intervention in children with ID?</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>Does improvement take place across all domains of behavioural problems in children with ID who have received behavioural intervention?</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>Many people in the community believe that children with ID can transfer their disabilities to other children. Some of the children&#x2019;s behavioural problems may have resolved if they were placed in school.</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>Frequent migration of families, sickness of participants, myths, misbeliefs, cultural practices, parental attitudes, parental cooperation and (to some extent) the language barrier between professionals and parents</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>Clinical approach to a behaviour disorder in a child with an intellectual disability</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>Sleep Disorders- Sleep deprivation in humans can have negative side effects including decreased alertness, mood changes (e.g., irritability, fatigue) and cognitive changes (e.g., short-term memory alteration). (e.g., night-waking, night-settling, early waking).</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>Agitation</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>Aggression</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>Self Injury<sup>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R16">16</xref>]</sup>.</p></list-item></list>
<p>In this 21<sup>st</sup> century, the desired outcome of education<sup>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R17">17</xref>]</sup> is challenging in this digital parenting era.</p>
<p>The following parameters namely, Digital Society, Digital Parenting, Heart transformation, Intellectual Transformations, Social Distancing, Socio Economic are increasing.</p>
<p>The Digital Society includes all virtual friends who we can see speak only thorugh electronic machines. The Digital Parenting Refers to the issues faced by the parents in handling the psychological behaviour in children due to the impact of social media. The heart transformation is done thorugh the social organization called school, but when the school itself is transforming to use machines for education, the direct contact of teacher a human is missing in education. The heart oriented transformation is hard to groom.</p>
<p>The Intellectual Transformation is perfect and the best outcome is good human contributing best medicine, science and technology, socio-economic stability. The Outcome of education is the MAN OF VISION, qualified of contributing something or giving back something with gratitude to the nature, nation, people and humans of course all living beings.</p>
<p>Whereas in DOSE the outcome is also the same, the Man of Vision who could afford himself independently and belong to the heart transformation part of the KLMN SWASTIK. The students can help each other as it is challenging for them to contribute intellectually as compared with normal children.</p>
<p>Moreover, the heart and intellect transformation is expected to develop better outcome in both CWSN and normal child as well. The following Table depict the challenges faced by the special educator teacher in this digital era where the education is transformed to flipped classroom with smart phones.</p>
<p>The CWSN children found hard to use smart phones or gadgets for education. So school for CWSN is inevitable and high prioritised requirements of the parents.</p>
<p>Here in Special Education system, the key stage objectives designed by the proposed model comparatively with the desired outcomes of education for a normal child are as follows.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="S4_3">
<title>Design of the key stage objectives of the Outcome of Special Education (DOSE)</title>
<list list-type="order">
<list-item><p>To increase the confidence of a number of special children to aspire for a valuable education like their normal peers.</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>To propose a set of nonbiased methods of evaluation for determining if a child has a disability. Testing and evaluation must not discriminate based on race, culture, or native language</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>To give rest and fellowship for parents and families through experiential learning through excursion</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>To organise events that encourages school spirit and orientation programme to know the services provided by the government.</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>To provide opportunities for families to talk together about common struggles.</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>To facilitate parents with low income with good medical care for their children especially for students with unique medical complications</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>To provide a gateway to parents to build a good relationship between newer and older parents.</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>To give clinical recommendations on Vision, hearing, understanding, moving, communicating and general behaviour.</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>The Preventive measures namely, Prevent abuse, Prevent separation, Reunite families, Provide alternative care, Leave no one behind are the main outcome parameter on every stage of DOSE.</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>The Transition from one stage to another stage depends on the up-to-date performental measuring scale. For example, The behavioural assessment scale for Indian children with mental retardation (BASIC-MR) was used to quantify the study subjects&#x2019; behavioural problems before and after we applied behavioural management techniques (baseline and post-intervention, respectively).</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>To provide conflict resolution guidelines and dispute resolution to the parents whenever required immediately for smooth functioning of the special education.</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>To inspire the adolescent CWSN, the successful and famous personalities with disabilities can be invited to give motivational talk to the adult from age 16 upwards.</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>The ad hoc, confused and uncoordinated lack of easily accessible information for parents and young people about what future possibilities in the current transition services can be avoided by using the proposed model.</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>To provide resources for individuals with intellectual disabilities and their carers to access advice about body changes and maturation during the transition to adulthood.</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>To prepare lesson plans, activities, report, assessment, evaluation for student specific CWSN.</p></list-item>

<p>The DOSE is translated into a set of developmental outcomes for each key stage of our special education system. The Key Stage Outcomes spell out what the special Education Service aspires to develop in our students through:
<list list-type="order">
<list-item><p>Early intervention (birth&#x2212;2 years old).</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>Early head start (birth to 2).</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>Head start (3 to 5).</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>Early childhood intervention(3 to 5 years old).</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>Kindergarten to secondary education(6 to 16 years old).</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>Transition planning for adult hoods(14-6 years old).</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>Transition into secondary education 16 to 21 years of age.</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>Transition services to the adult life.</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>Transition with the development of sexual maturity.</p></list-item>
</list>
<list list-type="bullet">
<list-item><p>Each educational level builds upon the previous stages and lays the foundation for subsequent ones.</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>Analysis of the Key Stage of special education Outcomes. There are thirty-one outcomes at each key stage. Taken together, the Key Stage Outcomes make explicit what we aspire to develop in our young so as to lay the strong foundations for them to thrive and achieve success in life as contributing members of society.</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>The Special Educator, along with the prescribed outcome by clinical psychologists, can apply the normal children&#x2019;s (as per Physiological age) outcome to assess the outcome of the individual CWSN to promote from one stage to another stage or to reschedule the process for getting the aimed transformation.</p></list-item>
<list-item><p>The Academics, Vocational or Job kill training, can be included thorugh the transition period for CWSN KIDS (16-23)</p></list-item>
</list></p>
<p>Developing a broader education system and with educators who have specialized training is an urgent requirement. Learning should be a fun and an adventurous activity for both children with and without special needs. This proposed KLMN SWASTIK MODEL ensures the involvement and commitment of parents, doctors, peer group and the society, government for the upliftment of special education.</p>

<title>CONCLUSION</title>
<p>The Indian government has demonstrated its determination by implementing a number of policies, programs, and legislations for inclusion in the last four decades; while on the other it faces a number of unique challenges that limits its successful implementation. Policy makers need to address these challenges appropriately to make inclusive education a reality for millions of children with disabilities in India. Special Education should therefore focus on designing a structure of education that can overpower the disadvantages related to these disabilities, and help children in getting quality education. This Research article aims at helping to meet the unique socio-cultural-educational traditions of India<sup>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R18">18</xref>]</sup>.</p>
