In India, students often revere their teachers as guides, mentors—almost godlike figures—believing they hold the power to shape their future. But what happens when these very teachers find themselves powerless in front of a child who learns differently?
Too often, educators are left unequipped when they encounter students with learning disabilities or other forms of disability. Not because they don’t care—but because they were never taught how to understand or support them. As a result, an entire section of our society remains invisible, unexplored, and misunderstood.
Despite being a global example of cultural and social diversity, India still struggles with disability awareness. The solution lies in beginning where it matters most: the classroom. By introducing the subject of disability in schools—not just as a topic, but as a lived reality—we can prepare teachers to understand and include every kind of learner. And through them, we can raise a generation that sees ability in diversity.
NGO Trinayani's Enable Program is a year-long journey that does exactly this. It empowers teachers first, equipping them with the mindset and tools to include, empathise, and educate. Then it extends that learning to students—shaping an inclusive, informed, and compassionate future.
Every school in India should experience this transformation. Because an inclusive society starts with an inclusive classroom.
Connect with NGO TRINAYANI to bring the Enable Program to your school. Let’s shape a future where no child is left unseen.
