A "casual integration" has taken place in Indian society as children with disabilities with no choice of which school to attend are placed in regular classroom settings. 40,000 children with disabilities are enrolled in regular schools (often the neighborhood schools) than special schools as their families find the former to be the more cost-effective and practical option. Despite this integration, children with disabilities still find themselves to be at a disadvantage because negative attitudes and systematic bias exclude them from beneficial public policies including health and nutrition programs.
