Differently -abled children are those children who have inability to perform any one of the task which other normal children can perform easily. They are some people who cannot see, hear, speak or walk like everyone else and are called Differently abled people.

Chuskit was happier when her father (Aaba-le) got a chair which had wheels. She quickly learnt how to sit in the chair and how to move it – back and forth. Chuskit was so happy now as she did not need her father to carry her everywhere. When she wanted to go out she would tell her mother to put her in the wheel chair. Now, she could come outside on her own. Chuskit would now sit on it and see the other children laughing and playing on their way to school every morning.

When Abdul went back from Chuskit’s house; he had started thinking of how to get Chuskit to school. He explained about Chuskit to the Headmaster and talked to the teachers till they agreed with his thoughts. Now everyone got together to work so that Chuskit’s problem could be solved. They made a plan so that Chuskit could bring her wheel-chair by road to school.

For bringing Chuskit to school, all worked together and made a plan. The uneven road had to be levelled. So, one group of children started levelling the road. Another group worked to make the area near the river even. But there was still a problem of Chuskit crossing the river. The older children took teacher’s help to make a small bridge with flat pieces of wood across the river. Everyone happily worked hard as they all wanted Chuskit to come to the school.

As Chuskit was a differently abled child, she has no legs and could not walk. So she used to sit near the window and draw pictures whole day. Her mother said that Chuskit made the best drawings.

A ramp is an inclined plane that is carefully designed to help wheelchair and scooter users to move around and enter a building or vehicle with ease. Ramps allow wheelchairs, strollers, carts, and other wheeled objects to easily way in steps, vehicles and other raised areas or platforms.

Ramps provide an alternative to stairs for wheelchair users, people with mobility issues and people with prams, bicycles and other wheeled items. In case there is a child coming to school on wheel chair, he/she can easily enter through the ramp with someone’s help or on his/ her own.

Ramps are built on hospital entrances so that people who are disabled, injured, operated or having some medical problem can use wheelchair and get comfortably in the hospital. The stairs are usually not comfortable for wheelchair users as other people have to lift the wheelchair in order to get in the hospital.
