Do those students have any cards? Do they have discount? How are they considered disabled? Is there any restriction for admission based on the students' disabilities?
In my country i.e. for physical or mental impairments students, the universities or corresponding affiliated college follow the counselling personally for each student. In this counselling, the college faculty interaction with students, at that time they will discussing their personal goals, personal habits, their daily acts etc.
Thanks for your answer Dr. Goli Srinivasarao. I see you you from India. Is that the same reality in all the country or this what is done in your institution alone?
Yes they do. Depending on the level of disability, their suitability to enroll for the course is decided. Also there is a quota for students with disabilities. Fee concessions are also offered and late in jobs also, some companies offer jobs for students with disabilities.
They receive some restrictions and favors in deadlines for assignments due to their turning out for health and other therapuetic sessions. However, there are no discounds in financial transactions such as academic user fees etc. Thanks sincerely for sharing the question. Best regards
The countries of the world are divided according to cultural, economic and scientific development. I believe that in most third world countries students with physical disabilities suffer
Generally speaking, in all countries, including my country Iran, there are special centers for the education of learners with mental and physical impairments. However, the case of physically impaired children, the parents can choose an education context where healthy and normal children attend classes. The aim of the policy is to increase public understanding and tolerance of the disabled and to narrow down the gap which would otherwise drive the disabled into oblivion by introducing them as social outcasts.
In my beloved country there is a special centers (private schools) that provide a very special teaching services, and also there is many specialist public and private centers that take responsibilities to fully rehabilitate such kind persons (in public one all services are free of charge). By the way, according to the International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics (ISPO), (I am full member there), such a person MUST be named Person With Disability (PWD) in order to keep kind feeling toward such person in his society. The attached photo was in Babylon Rehabilitation Center as a part of my Ph.D. project.
Summery: Our government provides special free of charge services for PWDs
I guess they have different training school (not physical impairments ) , they are treated with respect and care . I guess there are dedicated staffers and specialized case workers for taking care of them .
No discounts , but Canadian government does give some funding (depending on parents income) to kids (as they grow) for having extra support .
Thank you for sharing the question. I do apologize for responding lately to your sharing because my busy last week. Here we are! yes we have schools called special education schools in Egypt, or مداراس التربيه الفكريه these schools are available in many places in Cairo. As a matter of fact, these schools need equipped teachers with patience, knowledge and skills that hard to find bedsides facilitates as mentioned in this thread. In my faculty students tried many times to come with several impairments such as hearing, sight, and oral skills but administration refuse them, as they justify that for example dietitian should have oral and hearing skills to communicate with patients. I tell you something I have a relative, she is blind, and bake foods, do every thing at her home and serve food for none blind people!. We should not underestimate their abilities if they interested and giving them enough training.
I received this as a private message and it is very interesting for you all as well.

In my country, India, there are special schools for students with mental retardation. As far as physical impairment is concerned, there are no special schools except blinds. However, students with physical impairments are given reservation in admission and jobs, sometimes scholarships also.There are a variety of programmes for different types of handicaps
I believe there should be special schools for physical or mental impairments. If not, those students must have special treatment in the regular schools.
A handbook was published about this question by the contribution of 75 countries. Title is: The Praeger International Handbook of Special Education ed.by

I have received the following message from Dr. Takele Geta
📷Takele Geta to you 59 minutes ago
Yes, In Our University have established a guidance and counseling with specialized psychologist. Thus mental and physical impairments have special attention given and students get support for their educational achievement.
There are specialized schools and college level training for teachers, facilities for specialized access for the challenged are grossly inadequate, funding is an issue here and there is not enough attention to this cause; cultural beliefs also contribute to the dysfunctionality here. Even where there are a few efforts here and there, there is not much coordination and the laws do not address the challenges of these people. There is much, so much to do in many areas.
Yes, the students with physical or mental impairments have a special treatment in our schools of our country. Although its challenging task but it is addressed and implemented with high priorities.
Dear Dr. Vilemar Magalhaes, Yes, the students with physical or mental impairments have a special treatment in our schools of our country. Although its challenging task but it is addressed and implemented with high priorities.
