Karnataka Assembly to deploy special educators for hearing-impaired children, says U T Khader
Bengaluru: Karnataka Assembly Speaker U.T. Khader on Tuesday said that special education teachers will be deployed from the next Assembly session to help hearing-impaired children understand the proceedings, The New Indian Express reported.
The Speaker made the announcement after a group of children with hearing impairment from the N.K. Ganapaiah Rotary School for the Physically Challenged in Sakleshpur, Hassan district, visited the Assembly to watch the proceedings. These children can understand everything through sign languages.
“We need to feel proud and respect these kids who have shown interest to see the house proceedings. To make them understand, we shall have an instructor exclusively for them’’ TNIE quoted Khader as saying.
Cutting across the party line, legislators initially gave a thumbs up, expressing their appreciation to those kids. When the instructor accompanying the children explained the interaction, the children responded by raising their hands using sign language.
MLAs in turn reciprocated and raised their hands. It was heart warming to witness this amid the chaos in the Assembly that was debating alleged scam in Excise Department.
