Question 1.
Who are special children? What can make a difference in their lives?
Answer:
Physically challenged children are those children who have a disability of some sort. They are called special children. For example, visually impaired and hearing impaired are special children. These children require special skills to eat, read, move around, express themselves and use the toilet. A little care and love can make a great difference in the lives of physically challenged children.

Question 2.
Distinguish between the training of physically challenged children in earlier times and present times.
Answer:
In earlier times most physically challenged children were not given any special education and training. The parents were not aware about the help and training that could make their life happy and comfortable. But in present times a lot of progress has been made in this field. Now there are many specially trained teachers and therapists who guide these special children.

Their parents and other members of the families are also trained to deal with them. With the progress in science and technology, many adaptive devices and special machines have come into the market which provide mobility and independence to physically challenged children.

Question 4.
What is Inclusive Education? How does it benefit other students?
Answer:
It is advised by experts dealing with physically challenged children that these children must be integrated with other children. What they mean to say is that these children should be sent to a normal school. This is known as Inclusive Education.

Inclusive Education benefits other students in the following ways –

• They not only develop an understanding of needs of special children but also develop a caring and sympathetic attitude towards them. This brings a great positive change in the society.
• Other students become more sensible and compassionate in contact of special children.

Question 5.
Who are socially deprived children? Where can you commonly find them?
Answer:
Socially deprived children are those children who are deprived of the right to live a decent life. They have to spend their lives either on the streets or in the slums. They do not have the opportunity of education or a life of dignity. They are bound to lead a miserable life. They can be found on the streets, in the slums, near the red lights, in dhabas, etc.

Question 6.
What steps should taken to improve the condition of socially deprived children?
Answer:
The following steps should be taken to improve the condition of socially deprived children –

• There should be a provision to give them free education, books, uniform and stipends and it should be implemented strictly and honestly.
• These children and their parents should be guided and made aware of the importance of education.
• The teachers should visit the parents of these children time to time and tell them that they should encourage their children to go regularly to school, study hard to make a better future for themselves and the society.
• Each and every one should extend a helping hand in improving the condition of these children.

Question 7.
Do you think socially deprived children should be given money? Give two reasons in support of your answer?
Answer:
It is a fact that money plays a major role in our life. Although it is not everything, no can deny its importance or meaning in giving a shape to a life. If we are studying in a big or reputed school, it is money that has enabled us to do so. If socially deprived children engage themselves in works like rag picking or cleaning utensils in dhabas instead of going to school, it means they are helpless. Their parents don’t have money to afford to send them to school. Therefore, these children’s school be given money. This money would enable them to get education.
