The primary objective of mainstreaming disability component of the programme is to create a sense of awareness on the rights of persons with disabilities among the civil society actors. In Ahmedabad, an ‘Access Resource Group’ has been formed where architects, engineers, designers and other professionals volunteer for conducting access audit of public buildings/spaces and recommend modifications. Building by-laws of Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA) is being reviewed in the light of parameters of barrier free environment. Mainstream developmental organisations are also supported to identify persons with disabilities and include them in the ongoing programmes. Four organisations working with children with intellectual/ mental disabilities are being provided technical support in the areas of developing individual treatment plans for children, classroom structuring and management, developing quality indicators for monitoring of services, understanding the needs of children with deaf blindness and communicating with children with multiple disabilities. |
