youth especially children with disabilities.

stress, anxiety and fearfulness, along with a range of other emotional and behavioural issues.
Such unanticipated and sudden changes will be required to be addressed from all educational
platforms.
Teachers as well as families with an empathetic and patient approach can go a long way in
mitigating such needs of children and adolescents.

and teachers all over the country and ensure their well-being.
