The proposal includes integrating children with mild to moderate intellectual disablity and children with cerebral palsy with average intelligence or above average intelligence, as well as with children with borderline or mild intellectual impairment with the average children and also children with speech and hearing disorders. It is our strong belief that integrated education will help the less able in a very big way in terms of putting an end to their segregation or isolation and straight away bring about their acceptability. This will also bring a platform for the them to follow the ‘able model’ following the average children in their day to day learning situations. Integrated classrooms situation will also help in reducing behaviour problems of the disabled children as they watch and observe the accepted behaviour pattern of their able counterparts. By providing them uniform education opportunities, the disabled and able will be able to perform in a competitive and enjoyable atmosphere with a sense of friendship and cooperation. Such a model will also help bring about much needed empathy in the minds of able children regarding the condition and needs of their disabled counterparts.

In addition to the disabled children attending classes alongside with their normal counterparts it is suggested that all these children also undergo a specialized programme consisting of:
