Synopsis A book that fills the mind with beauty and opens the heart to what is lovely and lovable is a treasure forever." It allows transmission of knowledge from generation to generation and from place to place. Books have always been our best friend and a source of learning. We read and write for many purposes, most of the time they are either social or academic. This manual attempts to serve the academic needs in the field of Special Education and Rehabilitation. Disability Studies are mostly dependent on western books and literature with very little being available within the country. An effort has been made to fill in the gaps that existed, by preparing the manuals that would be simple in approach, easy to understand and serving the students needs. We hope that they will prove to be an effective tool not only for students and teachers, but also for parents, NGOs and organizations of persons with disability. The manual attempts to consciously follow the course syllabus and in the process explore the general and disability specific issues. In the process of creating such specifically tailored manuals for the courses, there are possibilities of oversights or errors despite our being careful. The Council would like to invite your suggestions and comments so that the subsequent editions, revised versions can be improved upon.
