My visit at Life Style was interesting because seeing that people with special needs can help them to function in society, seeing young people who are studying at university career, despite their special needs can develop a common life.
Recently in Panama an inclusion program was made, which means students with special needs go their regular classes when they are already evaluated by a special teacher and a psychologist, they make the decision and they are integrated to the classrooms , The psychologist gives suggestions to the English Teachers. Following the suggestions one can carry out our work a little easier, and often the fear as one will try to explain a class to a student with special needs.
Hi, Omaira!
ReplyDeleteI understand your fear, but there is this great fact that you are working in teams: you, the special ed teacher, and the psychologist.
I also think that because inclusion is a somewhat new reality in your school, the fear is understandable. Little by little, people will get used to it. And with the help of all those professionals, this will bring benefits to all.
Thanks for sharing, Omaira!
