“Apathy” and “ignorance” These two words perhaps aptly describe the current state of the education for children with any form of neurodivergence, namely Intellectual Disability, Autism and Learning disabilities, in India. Historically, the country has ignored neurodivergent people. Our institutions by and large still use the term “mentally retarded” when referring to people with intellectual disability. We exist in a culture that continues to believe neurodivergence is something to be cured and not accepted, a culture where the very concept of a learning disability is regularly denied. Parents refuse to acknowledge their children require a different standard of care and the parents who do acknowledge it have no options on how the care is provided.
