As part of the UKAID funded Disability Inclusive Development Inclusive Futures (DIDIF) Sense International Tanzania has been implementing Task Order 51 (project) on Inclusive Education. Their focus has been on ensuring that the screening, identification and assessment process is integral in guaranteeing children with disabilities appropriate learning intervention in an inclusive setting.

This particular paper draws in on the lessons learned from this in-school screening, identification and assessment model, as well as that it provides recommendations to strengthen this approach and roll it out more widely within Tanzania, and in countries with similar education systems in place.

The paper assesses and provides recommendations regarding the different phases in this model:

  • Screening (community and school based)
  • Assessment – through the Educational Support Resource and Assessment Centres.
  • Provision of intervention
  • Monitoring and evaluation
