New educational reforms by the CBSE for kids with special needs

Hi,
In a previous note, I brought out the success story of a visually challenged girl who made it as physiotherapist. As an Ophthalmologist, it is often a painful experience to see potentially bright students succumbing to the red tape of Indian education system.
Now for a change, the central board of secondary eduction has come up with reforms and included all kind of disabilities where it permits special facilities: The list includes Autism, Blindness, Dyslexia and the facilites include use of writers, waiving the fee for getting a writer, computers, typewriters, alterantive questions, larger font size, extra time etc...
Small change but a positive one!
