Expedite policy for ADHD students: HC


New Delhi, October 23 

The Delhi High Court has directed the Centre and the Delhi Government to expedite the drafting of an education policy for the children suffering from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). 

A Bench of Chief Justice DN Patel and Justice C Hari Shankar noted that children suffering from this disorder were not covered under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 and hence a policy should be evolved. 

“We hereby direct the respondents to expedite the drafting of the policy, so that the children suffering from ADHD can be imparted education with all care and proper education,” the Bench said. 

The High Court also allowed the petitioner in the case to submit suggestions to authorities. It noted that a meeting was convened on April 24 which was attended by principal secretaries of education and health departments of the Government of Delhi. — PTI
