Minister for School Education Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi unveiled the Nalam Naadi app on Tuesday for special educators to track students with learning disabilities in Chennai.
The students undergo health screening which is undertaken by the teachers at the school. This data is then fed into the health app under the Education Management Information System (EMIS) which is run by the School Education department.
“There was never a database for special children as the school teachers have to take care of their duties. Hence, to be able to cater to the children’s needs and to tailor a curriculum that would be beneficial for them, this app was launched,” said an official from the department.
