Government of Maharashtra's Disha Abhiyan embeds pre-vocational training within its broader mission: promoting functional independence among students with intellectual disabilities.
Pre-Vocational training (ages approx. 14–18) likely incorporates similar hands-on modules, adapted to each student’s abilities via the IEP framework.
Teachers trained under Disha Abhiyan use multisensory, individualized methods to ensure students progressively learn and apply these practical skills.
Trainable (Moderate Intellectual Disability):
Students with moderate intellectual disabilities learn basic self-care, social behaviors, and practical life skills through repeated training and assistance, such as:
Daily living skills: Eating, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene.
Social adaptation: Following basic instructions and routines.
