B.Ed. (Hearing Impairment) Introduction to Neuro Developmental Disabilities Syllabus - Mumbai University
This is the University of Mumbai syllabus for the Bachelor of Education - Special Education (Hearing Impairment), the Choice Based two-year programme in force from the academic year 2016-17. It is the scheme currently examined: the University set all four of its semesters in Winter 2025 and Summer 2026, and has published no revision of it since. The University no longer hosts the document on mu.ac.in, which is why it is mirrored here in full.
