In order to make its students understand the meaning of disability, a city-based school, Spring Dale Senior School, is observing World Disability Week, which commenced from Monday. The School is observing the week under its 'Walking in their Shoes' initiative.

School students Class III to IX and Class XI will be stepping into the shoes of special children to bat for inclusive education during the week long celebration. Classes X and XII students will attend seminars and activities sensitising to disabilities.

The International Day of Persons with Disabilities is observed on December 3. Each day of the week has been dedicated to a particular disability. The aim of the celebrations is to make students understand the need of students with disabilities and to develop sympathy towards them.

“Monday was observed as Blind Day during which students walked around blindfolded to understand the daily challenges faced by people with visual impairment. Tuesday would be observed as Mute Day, Wednesday as Deaf Day, Thursday as ‘The Day of the Physically Challenged', while Friday has been reserved for reflection and discussion on the lessons learnt from the previous days' activities,” said Rajiv Kumar Sharma, principal, Spring Dale Senior School. — TNS
