Inclusion at Jyoti Sroat School - Shillong - Trinayani

At Jyoti Sroat School, run by Bethany Society, Shillong, inclusion isn’t just a word, it’s a way of life!

At Jyoti Sroat, children with and without disabilities learn side by side, supported by creativity, flexibility and love. Lessons are designed to suit every learner - a child can learn by listening while lying on the floor, if they need to!

About Trinayani:

For the past 17 years, Trinayani, founded in 2006, is dedicated to driving change in the field of disability. Our mission is to raise awareness, acceptance, and understanding of people with disabilities (PwDs), while simultaneously working to reduce fear and ignorance, about the world of PwDs, among the general public. We specialize in curating sensitization workshops, community building and using media, games, and literature as part of our awareness campaigns and believe in collaborating and partnering with like-minded individuals and organizations.

Through our year-long “EnAble” Disability Awareness and Capacity Building program, we work with mainstream teachers, equipping them with the necessary skills to address the diverse learning needs of students, aligning with the guidelines of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

Our "TOWARDS INCLUSION"- this Disability Awareness card game kit, has a range of interestingly adapted cards to raise awareness about disability and advocacy for Inclusion. Our two livelihood initiatives which also serve as advocacy efforts are Sparsh Foot Spa, which employs blind reflexology therapists, and Pehli Baarish, an inclusive music band featuring artists with and without disabilities.
