A 2016 report, ‘Making Schools Accessible to Children with Disabilities’, by NGO Samarthyam, has a checklist for parents, which includes that they should take their child to a school and try out the access to the school building, classrooms, the library, toilets, the playground, drinking water and mid-day meal areas, and other school facilities. They should assess if the school is free of barriers—like, the entrance to the school building should have gentle ramps with handrails and non-slip surfaces, toilets should be spacious with a western commode for a child using a wheelchair or crutches, and the steps and the ramp leading to the toilet itself should have handrails.
