In Prayas, one of our important challenges was to develop a qualified work force of special educators and create a work environment for them that can sustain involvement and commitment. This motivated us to start a diploma course, recognized by Rehabilitation Council of India (@ Team Daksh Please Link to Rehabilitation Council of India (rehabcouncil.nic.in), New Delhi for special educators at Prayas.
The following courses are being/have been conducted in Prayas resource centres for Special Educators and professionals under the aegis of RCI.
Earlier:
• Foundation Course on Education for Children with Disabilities (FCED) for government school teachers was started in 2006 under SSA (Sarva Siksha Abhiyaan) and Inclusive Education. Over 550 teachers have been trained.
• CESE-MR course and CRE are also conducted by Prayas under affiliation from RCI. This course focuses on the specialist care/educational requirements of differently-able persons
