Can the DEPwD format this with structures and a screenreader friendly layout on the Swavlamban website as HTML for easy reference by lay people and medical professionals alike?

There is an error in mental illness which needs to be rectified and so this should be a living document too.

The various (expensive) scales referenced in this should be cross-referenced and provided in screenreader friendly format within the same website with downloadable print ready forms for administering.

User manuals of SADAREM software and the Maharashtra equivalent need to be uploaded at this website as well, and a web app created for the complicated calculations where human error is all too likely to crop in. Making this available online would help in accountability of person making assessment and address the many varying percentages reached for a single person's disability at the same point of time.

Seema Baquer's recent document can be referenced for streamlining this process / service.

States need to follow Telugu states' MeeSeva type booking for slots for certification - even that, information gets rapidly outdated. The Nayi Disha guide numbers didn't work, and the slot booking cannot happen online by citizens but only at the Mee Seva centre. Tool 3 trips for a friend in Hyderabad to figure out the slot opened only on 3rd January - with much misguiding and misinformation along the way.
