Consent of parents or guardians should be obtained for services provided to differently-abled children in BUDS schools and they will be allowed inside the therapy rooms. If parents cannot be allowed inside, they should be able to observe the proceedings through observation windows, CCTV, or other electronic/non-electronic mode, say draft guidelines issued for BUDS school and BUDS rehabilitation centres in the State.
The draft guidelines, issued by the Social Justice department, are intended to ensure minimum standards, facilities, quality of rehabilitation programmes, and services for differently-abled children in BUDS schools and BUDS rehab centres (for those above the age of 18).
To get registration, both BUDS schools and BUDS rehab centres should have a minimum of 16 students. They should have one teacher for every eight children, say the guidelines.
