Such data will aid in the development of modules, for the data will show the most common learning disabilities.

Deployment and Monitoring

Finally, the screening tools, modules and the trained teachers will be deployed in the field to promote inclusive education for these children with special needs. As this is being done, the researchers will conduct periodic monitoring activities to aid the implementers.
