Evaluation of Children with Special Needs with special reference to Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation

With the Right to Education Act in place, it has become imperative for children with special needs to be mainstreamed. It has given new thrust to the education of Children with Special Needs (CWSN). Thus to fulfill the main aim of Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) that is to evaluate every aspect of the child during their presence at the school the evaluation of CWSN also becomes an important task. The focus of the present research is to study the perception of teachers about CWSN with special reference to CCE.

The study revealed that the inclusion of CWSN do not negatively affect the performance of mainstream students. Inclusive Education is beneficial for CWSN. Teachers also find CCE flexible to evaluate CWSN. They also supported collaboration with special educators for better results and special programmes to be organized in schools.
