The training of general teachers at pre-service and in-service levels should address the issue

 of education of children with disabilities, so that teachers are better equipped to work in an

inclusive environment. Some of the issues in training that need to be addressed include the

methodology to be adopted for identifying children with disabilities; classroom management;

use of appropriate teaching methodologies; skills for adapting the curriculum; development of

teaching–learning materials that are multi-sensory in nature; evaluation of learning; etc. The

time has come to scale up successful experiments on teacher training such as the Multi-site

Action Research Project and the Indian adaptation of the UNESCO Teacher Education

Resource Pack, since these experiences are lying dormant.
