Option 4 : Equality and non-discrimination in all spheres of life.

The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 is the disability legislation passed by the Indian Parliament to fulfill its obligation to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which India ratified in 2007.

  • The Act replaced the existing Persons With Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995.

 Objectives of Right of persons with disabilities act (2016) for disabled learners.:

  • admit disabled learners without discrimination and provide education and opportunities in all aspects, equally with others.
  • make building, campus, and various facilities accessible
  • Provide reasonable accommodation according to the individual's requirements.
  • provide necessary support individualized or otherwise in environments that maximize academic and social development consistent with the goal of full inclusion.
  • ensure that the education to persons who are blind or deaf or both is imparted in the most appropriate languages and modes and means of communication.
  • detect specific learning disabilities in children at the attainment levels and completion of the education in respect of every student with a disability.
  • monitor participation, progress in terms of attainment levels, and completion of the education in respect of every student with a disability.
  • provide transportation facilities to the children with disabilities and also the attendant of the children with disabilities having high support needs. 

Thus by all these references, we can conclude that the Rights of persons with disabilities Act (2016) promotes Equality and non-discrimination in all spheres of life.

Hint

  • There is no compulsory special education for disabled students, all the students learn under the same roof and it is promoted in the Rights of persons with disabilities Act (2016).
  • Discrimination in opportunities and denial of the education affects the learning as well as the mental health of the learners, so discrimination and denial behavior is not promoted in the right of a person with disabilities act (2016).
