> As part of our school earthquake safety programme in India, we are
> faced with certain schools for children with disabilities. Here each
> child has either speech, hearing or visual disability. The teacher
> to student ration is poor, and a number of teacher themselves also
> have visual disability. As a result, most of our awareness and
> training material such as posers, models and shake tables are not
> useful. It is also difficult to impart training and conduct mock
> drills.
>
> Our efforts on finding any material or experiences from other parts
> of the world have so far been fruitless. The material we have found
> is either in the context of schools where there is a small percentage
> of children with disabilities, or else in a very high-tech
> environment where strobe lights, vibrating alert systems etc. are
> used.
>
> We will be grateful for any pointers.
