Ms. How and Me

 

This book is an effort at creating a collaborative platform for experts and key stakeholders to share their expertise and experiences with successful practices at creating inclusive environments. The objective is to give the readers multiple blueprints of success providing a varied range of perspectives and solutions. The underlying thought remains that inclusion can truly happen in one way or another but first starts with the singular belief that it can be done.

The contributions have been arranged in the following sections:

Section A - Inclusive Education: A Global Perspective

Section B - Stories of Resilience: Pre-School to University

Section C - Healing Touch: Perspectives from Specialists

Section D - Creating Inclusive Communities: A Blueprint

At the end of each story the editors have included key takeaways, additional pathways and reflective questions for the reader's reference.

“Drishti has been among one of the first social enterprises in our country to identify this lacunae (in inclusive education), to create a sustainable model and spread its value. Not just to a few thousand children & families, but it has been able to create and promote the movement of INCLUSION in schools and teaching institutes, thus exponentially magnifying its reach to help thousands more indirectly.”
