HT Dialogues: Are we doing enough for children with special needs?

The absence of a physical classroom robs children of the fun and warmth of in-person interaction. Lack of face-to-face interaction with teachers and peers is all the more challenging for children with special needs, as their social skills are already compromised to some extent. With schools having to resort to online classes during the COVID-19 pandemic, this has become an area of concern for teachers and parents of differently-abled kids. In this School Edition of HT Dialogues, experts and parents talk about ways to help them beat this challenge. 

Panelists: Anit Chhetri, Director, Lubdhak Research Foundation, Mrs. Richa Sharma Agnihotri, Principal, Sanskriti School, Ms. Shashi Chadha, Special Needs Educator, The Shri Ram School, Gurugram, Mrs. Manjula S. Basak, Teacher, Vidyasagar Int. School, Mumbai, Dr. Jyoti Joshi Jain, Parent, Step by Step School, NOIDA
