A collaborative effort between the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) and the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI), the programme promotes high standards in special education and inclusive education to children with visual impairments. It reflects the commitment of both institutions to promote inclusion at the grassroots level by focusing on the unique challenges faced by visually impaired children. The course objectives emphasize developing a deep understanding of visual impairment, early intervention strategies, and fostering empathy towards children with vision-related disabilities. Through this partnership, the programme aligns with the objectives of the RPWD Act 2016, ensuring the holistic development and inclusion of children with visual impairments. This certificate programme is particularly beneficial for professionals working in the field of disability, offering them specialized knowledge and hands-on skills for supporting children with visual impairments. Participants will learn essential techniques for early screening, intervention, and inclusion, as well as ways to work closely with families and educators. By developing the ability to adapt learning environments to the unique needs of children with visual impairments, learners of this programme will be empowered to create more inclusive educational and social settings, facilitating children's independence and holistic growth.
