Without #accessible schools, trained teachers, accessible learning materials, individualized strategies, inclusion becomes an illusion. @AccessApna2010 moving forward to bridge the inclusive education gap and make @SDG2030 Goal 5, a reality @UNESCAP @IndiaatUNESCO @EduMinOfIndia
Lack of accessibility in classrooms isn’t just about missing ramps or aids — it’s also about the invisible barriers. A child with a learning disability can sit in an ‘inclusive’ classroom yet receive none of the support they need.

Other girls in similar uniforms are seated behind her, focused on writing in their notebooks. Sunlight streams through large windows in the background.

Extra cost of disability:
Persons w/ Disability has been MADE to pay extra cost
+ 🚙 Big vehicle to carry wheelchair - pay extra for SUV
+ 🚾 Bigger toilet- search in parking/basrments & ppl crib
+ ✈️ And now Airlines with Business class- no front row
Why should we pay?
What difference #AssistiveTech can bring in lives of persons with #disabilities & senior citizens?
It's very obvious that some times conventional elements cannot be provided during retrofitting, hence #AT provides independence, safety and dignity thereby promoting quality life
