LACK OF RESOURCES as a barrier to inclusion : She wishes that her school had a braille. It could have gone a long way in helping her participate in reading-based activities.

Sometimes something as easily achievable as reading the instructions slowly enough are sufficient for Ankitha to participate, but seems to be missed by the instructors. While it may not be intentional, Ankitha is unable to participate and therefore, excluded. A CONSTANT REMINDER TO THOSE AROUND TO BE MINDFUL OF ALL CHILDREN can help include children when they can be easily included, i.e. no dependency on resources or know-how.

There are occassions where Ankitha feels left out. For example, when children are running around and run too fast for her to join the game. However, she has built a strong-will and desire to be independent in activities.
