The most critical of all the barriers to free universal education of students with disabilities is .........
inadequate knowledge about the problems of differently abled and students with disabilities in society
Free universal education of students with disabilities is blocked by several barriers: poor physical facilities, weak social support, negative attitudes and prejudice, and lack of awareness and knowledge in society.
The root of most of these barriers is inadequate knowledge about the problems of the differently abled. When parents, teachers and communities do not understand the nature, causes and needs of disabilities, they fail to demand facilities, give little support and develop stereotyped, negative attitudes.
Lack of facilities and lack of social support are consequences that can be removed once society understands the needs, and prejudice itself is fed by ignorance. Hence awareness and knowledge is the most critical barrier to address.
Hence, the most critical barrier is inadequate knowledge about the problems of differently abled and students with disabilities in society.
