This Diploma in Teaching Special Needs Education is rooted in the diverse needs of children with special needs in the Sri Lankan, South Asian, and Western contexts. While Western and South Asian methods provide various approaches for addressing special needs education, the Sri Lankan context has unique challenges that need to be understood and addressed. Children with special needs in Sri Lanka often face significant barriers in accessing appropriate education and support.

This diploma aims to bridge the gap by integrating both Western and South Asian methodologies and local strategies, thereby equipping teachers with the knowledge and skills necessary to support children with special needs effectively. By blending these approaches, the program will be tailored to meet the specific needs of Sri Lankan students, ensuring that educators are well-prepared to create inclusive and supportive learning environments. Therefore, teachers who complete this diploma will be equipped to work anywhere in the world.
