Children with lesser form of disabilities in school-going children are unnoticed by parents as well as by teachers and these children may be at risk for school failure. Screening procedures are an important part of the assessment process to identify children who have disabilities. To remedy problems of identification, Christian Institute of Health and Research (CIHSR) Dimapur has developed a screening checklist for different forms of disabilities such as intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), specific learning disabilities, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity disorder, emotional disorder, visual and hearing impairment. This in turn will help teachers ease the child’s burden by providing appropriate education.
Therefore, all government and private schools under Dimapur district have been informed to cooperate with Christian Institute of Health Sciences & Research (CIHSR) team as and when they visit the school.
