While acknowledging the love some educators have for our adorables, it’s nice to guide against ‘assumptions’. Please do not assume all children with the condition behave alike. Be consistent and ensure you monitor the learner progress.
Teachers play a vital role in the lives of our children who are born differently. An uninformed teacher is a disaster waiting to happen whereas a loving and informed teacher will draw out hidden potential from the learner. I pray for more educators like Mrs Jacobs
The days of hiding away our children or siblings with a disability are over!
Siblings Parents Teachers
I’m calling everyone out now!
Advocacy starts from your small corner to the ends of the earth. In order words, ‘think global but act local’. Remember, Scripture says, ‘He sent a word to Jacob and it lighteth up Israel’. We can’t afford to be silent advocates. With people like Abigail and a self advocate like Mimi, the discrimination of persons with disability with become old fashioned!
In managing my child I have to first manage myself! Special moms out there please do not loose grip of your sexuality and poise. Never see your child as a ‘problem’. Yes life happened but you must move on and positively too.
