About the University

Course Details
About 5 to 15 percent of children in classrooms in India have a learning disability. Policies mandate that all children need to be part of the regular school system, irrespective of their learning needs. But due to lack of awareness and poor implementation of the policies, children with disabilities are often forced to drop out of school. Teacher preparedness is critical for ensuring that children with learning disabilities become a part of an inclusive school system.
The Postgraduate Diploma programme in Teaching Children with Learning Disabilities aims to equip teachers to understand the nature and characteristics of the condition as well as possess the necessary knowledge to adapt the curriculum and modify teaching strategies to help the children cope with the demands of a regular school curriculum and become lifelong autonomous learners.
Enabling teachers with the required skills and knowledge helps develop competencies needed to function as effective inclusive school teachers, thereby fostering their professional growth in the workplace.
The postgraduate diploma is designed for school teachers and school functionaries to understand learning disability as a condition and develop skills for identification, assessment and application of evidence-based teaching methods in inclusive classrooms.
