Mainstreaming, in the context of education, is the practice of placing students with special education needs in a general education classroom during specific time periods based on their skills. This means students who are a part of the special education classroom will join the regular education classroom at certain times which are fitting for the special education student. These students may attend art or physical education in the regular education classrooms. Sometimes these students will attend math and science in a separate classroom, but attend English in a general education classroom. Schools that practice mainstreaming believe that students with special needs who cannot function in a general education classroom to a certain extent belong in the special education environment.

Deafness has varying definitions in cultural and medical contexts. In medical contexts, the meaning of deafness is hearing loss that precludes a person from understanding spoken language, an audiological condition. In this context it is written with a lower case d. It later came to be used in a cultural context to refer to those who primarily communicate through sign language regardless of hearing ability, often capitalized as Deaf and referred to as "big D Deaf" in speech and sign. The two definitions overlap but are not identical, as hearing loss includes cases that are not severe enough to impact spoken language comprehension, while cultural Deafness includes hearing people who use sign language, such as children of deaf adults.
BANGALORE: What started under a leaking shed with a few ailing, old men and women and six hearing impaired children, has now blossomed into a four-acre-land with innovative facilities amidst fresh air. This land lying approximately 35 kilometres south of Bangalore city is called ‘Sai Vrindavan campus’ run by the Sri Shathashrunga Vidya Samasthe. This is a home for the mentally challenged elderly destitute as well as a school for hearing impaired children. One of the specialty of this campus is that there is no fencing. The organisation was founded in 1988 by BR Ramprasad and his wife Nagavenamma exclusively for the hearing impaired children. The inspiration behind the organisation was their own who was born with hearing impairment. Ramprasad who was then an employee of BEML started the school with the help of deaf parents and four students. “ We were always on the lookout for better treatment for our son and that is when the doctor suggested that we should start one of our own with better facilities,” said Ramprasad. The school for the deaf lays emphasis on practical learning through ‘Material Reflective Method’ rather than sign language. The campus has classes from standard 1 to 10 for both girls and boys through which they are given vocational training. The students stay at the hostels provided by the organisation and it is a world they can easily relate to. “The students like staying here, their peer group is like any other but here, they are accepted and understood better,” said a teacher from the school. The organisation is also an asylum for the old who are mostly abandoned by their own children. The Sai Snehadhama Vrudhashrama (Home for senior Citizens), currently has 100 aged destitute who are suffering from problems like mental retardation and Alzheimer. The organisation provides them with basic facilities along with medical care and entertainment. “For these homeless elderly, the founder and his wife are godlike. They address them as ‘appa’ and ‘amma’,” says R Sudha, Principal, Sri Shathashrugna Residential School for the Deaf.“Not sympathy, it is opportunity that they want and unfortunately our society is not quite ready to provide,” said Ramaprasad and added, “There are two challenges ahead of him, the first one, is to discourage marriage between two deaf people as it might be an easy way out for them but not the right atmosphere for a child to grow up. The second is the growing gap between parents and children.”
