From the Foreword: "This manual attempts to serve the academic needs in the field of special education and rehabilitation. An effort has been made to fill in the gaps that existed, by preparing the manuals that would be simple in approach, easy to understand and serving the students needs. They will prove to be an effective tool not only for students and teachers, but also for parents, NGOs and organizations of persons with disability. The manual attempts to consciously follow the course syllabus and in the process explore the general and disability specific issues."
