5 Good Reasons to Enroll Special Needs Children in a Mainstream School
Teachers in Special Schools work very hard with Children with Special Needs Disabilities.
They work to ensure a sound understanding is achieved with situations many take for granted.
While children in mainstream schools are learning the ABC's, kids in Special needs facilities are learning to dress themselves, learn to communicate through alternative channels, basic life skills, toileting and the like.
Although Special needs children receive the specialised support they require there are several powerful reasons these Special Needs services to be provided in a mainstream setting.
5 Reasons to Enrol Special Needs Children in Mainstream Schools with full time support: 1.
Mainstream Students learn to accept the Child behind the disability.
While ever kids are made to feel different or "removed" from society there will always be issues relating to acceptance.
Students with disabilities need to learn, fail and succeed like any other mainstream student.
2.
Disabled Children develop a sense of acceptance.
Removing Special Needs Kids from a mainstream setting for permanent education in purpose built facilities does, by default, give them a sense of not only being different but forced to feel unaccepted by society.
Kids from All walks of life are different.
Some are Short, Some are black, some have red hair and freckles some are obese.
All of these differences does not cause these kids to be treated differently.
It also does not force them to attend Specialised Education.
3.
Social Interaction becomes a permanent part of the Child's Education and not a "Special Event" or excursion.
Removing a child from society to teach them social skills makes about as much sense as taking the paper OUT of the printer to print a document.
4.
Not only do Special needs kids learn about the real world, Mainstream Students also learn about the world of a special needs child.
Mainstream kids should be given the opportunity to learn a non-spoken language such as Makaton.
It not only allows communication with those who can not speak it is also a powerful communication language for people in noisy work environments.
5.
Specialised services become more readily available to other students in Mainstream schools.
There will always be students with difficulties in all levels of school.
Some students with mild Autism, Cerebral Palsy or ADHD.
When students with more severe disabilities are educated at mainstream schools, the services for the less severe disabilities are available on hand rather than by appointment.
Society needs to move through generations of change and acceptance before Special Needs Kids and adults will be given some form of belonging to the real world.
