"If he has education, there will not be any problem": Factors affecting access to education for children with disabilities in Tamil Nadu, India.

This study explores factors affecting children with disabilities' enrolment and experience in school in Tamil Nadu, India. In-depth interviews were conducted with 40 caregivers and 20 children with disabilities. Children were purposively selected to maximise heterogeneity by gender, impairment type and enrolment status, using data from a previous survey. Overall, caregivers recognised the importance of school for their children's future livelihoods or at least as a means of socialisation. However, some questioned the value of school, particularly for children with intellectual or sensory impairments. Other barriers to school enrolment and regular attendance included poor availability and affordability of transport, safety concerns or school staffs' concerns about children's behaviour being disruptive. While in school, many children's learning was limited by the lack of teacher training and resources for inclusive education. Poor physical accessibility of schools, as well as negative or overly protective attitudes from teachers and peers, often limited children's social inclusion while in school. These findings carry implications for the implementation of inclusive education in India and elsewhere, as they indicate that despite legislative progress, significant gaps in attendance, learning and social inclusion remain for children with disabilities, which may not be captured in traditional metrics on education access

STIMULATION AUDITIVE CONTROLATÉRALE ET OTO-EMISSIONS ACOUSTIQUES PROVOQUÉES : II - EFFET DE L'AGE ET DE LESIONS AUDIO-VESTIBULAIRES

Une stimulation auditive par bruit blanc de 30 dB SL diminue l'intensité des oto-émissions acoustiques provoquées enregistrées dans l'oreille controlatérale. Cette diminution est moins importante chez les sujets âgés et dans les surdités liées au bruit.White noise auditory stimulation (30 dB SL) decreases intensity of evoked otoacoustic emissions recorded in contralateral ear. This decrease is weaker in alder subjects and in Noise Induced Hearing Loss

STIMULATIONS AUDITIVES CONTROLATÉRALES ET MÉCANISMES ACTIFS COCHLÉAIRES : VULNÉRABILITÉ PHYSIOLOGIQUE DE LA COCHLÉE

Les otoémissions acoustiques provoquées (OEAP) ont été enregistrées en présence de stimulations auditives controlatérales afin d'étudier l'effet suppresseur sur les différentes composantes spectrales de la réponse. Les résultats montrent qu'alors que l'amplitude de certaines bandes de fréquence diminue particulièrement bien et de façon fréquence spécifique, d'autres ne montrent que de faibles diminutions, non liées à la fréquence. Comme l'effet suppresseur semble inefficace sur les fréquences de l'OEAP aux alentours de 4 kHz, un rôle protecteur du système efférent médian est discuté.The evoked otoacoustic emissions (OEAP) were recorded in presence of contralateral acoustic stimulations in order to study the suppressive effect on the different frequency components of the response. The results show that the amplitude of some frequency bands decreases in a frequency selectivity manner, but for other bands, the decrease is small without frequency specificity or even absent. This absence of suppressive effect is more particularly observed on the frequency bands around 4 kHz. So, a protective role of the medial efferent system is discussed
