multilingual proficiency in a child. All languages including tribal as well as English should
be valued equally. All mother tongues are appreciated as an important link between the
young child and the school. In case of first generation learner, teaching in the initial years
should be in mother tongue and less stress on the learning of second and third language as
support may not be available to the child at home to learn these languages. Inclusive education
is a process that increase the Participation of all children, including those with special needs,
in school. The Salamanca Statement and Framework for Action on Special Needs Education
has advocated the need for inclusive education. India is a signatory to all such statements
and has endorsed the concept of inclusive education. The Statement has urged all
governments to adopt as a matter of law or policy the principles of inclusive education and
emphasised that children with special needs must have access to regular schools. Early
Identification refers to the process of recognizing any disability or developmental variations
in early childhood years and to understand the need of early intervention. Early Identification
of learning difficulty or any related developmental delays can make a huge and a positive
difference in the life of children and their families. Early identification can significantly
minimize the social, behavioural or learning difficulties the child experience.
