** Mohra Faculty Member Participates in - National Online Training Programme on Specific Learning Disabilities**
Shri Dilbag Singh, Assistant Professor of English at District Institute of Education and Training (DIET), Mohra, Ambala, actively participated in the five-days national online training programme *“Beyond Labels: Understanding ”*, organized by the Central Institute of Educational Technology (CIET), NCERT, under the Ministry of Education, Government of India. The programme was conducted from *15–19 June 2026* as part of the **Specific Learning Disability (SLD) Awareness Week**.
The training programme aimed to enhance awareness and understanding of specific learning disabilities, including **Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, Dyspraxia, and Developmental Aphasia**, and to equip educators with effective strategies for supporting learners with diverse educational needs. Through expert-led sessions, participants explored evidence-based approaches to identification, intervention, and inclusive classroom practices.
During the workshop, Shri Dilbag Singh engaged with the presentations and discussions conducted by renowned experts in the field of inclusive education. The programme provided valuable insights into the importance of recognizing individual learning differences and adopting learner-centered pedagogical approaches to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
A major takeaway from the training was the understanding that specific learning disabilities do not reflect a child's intelligence or potential. Rather, timely identification, appropriate instructional support, and collaborative efforts among teachers, parents, and communities can help every learner achieve academic success and personal growth. The workshop also emphasized the role of multisensory teaching strategies, assistive technologies, and positive classroom environments in promoting inclusive education.
Reflecting on the programme, Shri Dilbag Singh highlighted the significance of building awareness among teacher educators, student-teachers, and school teachers regarding specific learning disabilities. He noted that the knowledge gained through the workshop would be shared with prospective teachers and educational stakeholders to strengthen inclusive practices in schools and teacher education institutions.
The participation of DIET Mohra in this national initiative reaffirms its commitment to promoting inclusive, equitable, and quality education in alignment with the objectives of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education). The insights and experiences gained from the programme are expected to contribute meaningfully to the creation of more sensitive, supportive, and inclusive learning environments for all learners.
