Chakshumati is a world leader in creating and implementing a born-accessible digital learning pedagogy for mainstream schools and education boards to become inclusive in their educational activities. We believe in equal equity for all in education and are an advocate and activist to ensure the goals of the 1994 Salamanca Treaty are honored. We believe it is easy to build stronger children than repair broken men. That is why Chakshumati works only with students with special needs.
Workshop on Assisted Technology for Visually Challenged
At present Chakshumati has a presence in 11 countries and the length and breadth of India. In conjunction with Benetch / Bookshare, we are now converting special and mainstream Indian schools to inclusive digital literacy to enable them to become inclusive and accommodative to children with diverse needs.
Empowering special needs children through Assistive Technologies
In 2011, Chakshumati started a national campaign to empower children with special needs to learn modern assistive technology tools for education and to make the educational content accessible so children with special needs also can effectively study in mainstream schools. We started our operations by creating accessible educational and general reading books and bringing technology literacy among students with special needs.
