Report on Educational
Trip

Name: Milan Hannah

Class: 11-B

Introduction
Children who achieve their developmental milestones in
time and adjust with their environment naturally are
called normal children.

Children who are not able to achieve their developmental


milestones and are not able to adjust with their
environment are called disadvantage children. They lag
behind in physical, mental and social development in
comparison to the other children of their age.

According to Mr. Baker, Children who have lesser


physical, mental, emotional or social capabilities than the
normal children and need special education and training
to develop their potentials are called disadvantaged
children.

Classification of Disadvantage
Children
1.Physically handicapped or disadvantaged
children
o Blind and partially blind.
Some children are born blind; some become
blind due to nutritional deficiency or some by
accident. Partially blind children can see very
little. Both blind and partially blind children
cannot grow like children of normal eyesight.
They develop inferiority complex and think that
they are burden on the society. Such children
suffer from a feeling of guilt.
Their needs
1. Teachers should be well trained so that they
recognize the symptoms of partially blind children
and take the action immediately. They should look for
following signs the child rub his eyes, cannot note
down his homework from the blackboard, find
difficulty in reading the book, has crossed eyes, etc.
2. Parents and other people should have sympathetic
attitude towards such children in order to help them
to shed their feeling of inferiority.
3. Parents should try to consult the as soon as they
know about their childs disability, so that from the

beginning they can be subjected to specialized


training which can help them to adjust with their
environment.

Completely blind
Except they cannot see, they are just like other
normal children in every other capability.
1. From the very beginning they should be made to
realize that they are equal to other children of their
age except slight disability of not being able to see.
For this, parents should treat them equal with their
other children and help them to overcome the feeling
of inadequacy.
2. These children should be made comfortable with
their bodies and the orientation of the home.
3. Constant love and encouragement should be given to
make them secure.
4. Children should start their education at the same age
as other normal children.
Their needs
1. For partially blind, books with bold print and color
should be recommended.
2. Green board, unglazed paper and black pencils help
them in studying.
3. They should be educated with Braille system. It is a
system of reading and writing the letters, number

and words. It is a typewriter type device and has six


keys. Braille dots are punched out one at a time from
right to left. Children when trained can easily use it.
4. Children should be educated with audiotapes to
sharpen their listening skills

separated from their parents due to some or other
reasons. Poverty, natural calamity like earthquakes,
epidemic is some of the reasons which leave many
children orphan. These children become antisocial due to
lack of educational and other facilities and proper

1. Children should be trained in such vocations so that
they can become self-dependent.
2. For juvenile delinquents, reformatory houses and
psychological guidance should be arranged.
3. Good environment in home and society should be
provided for their character, cultural and moral
development
4. Proper arrangements for their education should be
done. Government should take care of their school
fees, books, etc.
