Our Learning’s:

Ø       Really it’s an exciting and at the same time challenging task to work with disability.

Ø  ,,   We should treat all the children equally without distinguish and show empathy rather  than sympathy

Ø          We should stop labeling as a disable and consider them as normal human beings
 How to take care and teach them
        Even mentally challenged children can  contribute to the society and become self reliant
       We should be dedicated to work  towards them.   One who has working with mental retarded         children’s should have dedicate his / her whole life       for the welfare of children.
