D. ED. SPECIAL EDUCATION - (MENTAL RETARDATION)
Prevalence of Mental Retardation is significant in urban as well as rural areas. The history of training
professionals in the field of mental retardation is of recent origin in India. In the field of special education,
the first training centre was started in 1953 at Bombay by a voluntary agency, which offered a diploma in
teaching persons with mental retardation. Two more centres, one each at Madras and Mumbai, initiated
training programmes in special education in 1971. By 1980, there were nine special education training
centres in the country. By 1986, there were only six training centres and the remaining centres had been
closed down. In 1995, the number of centres offering training was 40. Out of these, 27 were recognized and
approved by Rehabilitation Council of India.
A special education programme must be seen in the overall perspective of habilitation and rehabilitation of
person with mental retardation, keeping in view diverse socio-economic settings, rural/urban location,
culture groups and specific needs of the persons with mental retardation pertaining to age, severity, and
family background, ecological and social milieu. It is well-recognized that children should be able to
assimilate knowledge and skills from different disciplines and integrate and include them into the
educational programme, where specialist would continue to serve as essential resource persons.
To meet the ever increasing demand of special educators, Amar Jyoti started the teachers training in 1998
which has now become a global centre imparting training in special educators more than 150 people every
year.
