Beschreibung
In the context of the paradigm shift in the concept and measures of development from economic development to human development, Keralas development process got much significance in promoting human development. However, the efficiency of the State Universities to provide equal educational opportunities to disabled/differently-abled persons in higher education institutions still remains an enigma. When it comes to mainstreaming the differently abled in the higher education institutions, the major barriers are the institutional or the systemic barriers like lack of basic and appropriate support materials/supportive services, lack of assistive devices, lack of disabled friendly infrastructure and/or lack of peripheral services. This book DISABLED FRIENDLINESS HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN KERALA (A case Study of the University of Kerala) looks into the facilities provided by the mother university of the state of Kerala in India, the UNIVERSITY OF KERALA located in the capital city of the state to accommodate and accomplish the special needs of the differently able students in its teaching departments and in the different campuses of its affiliated colleges.
