Shadow for a young child with Down's Syndrom
By Hazems Mom •
Hello, dears
We are trying to integrate a lovely 11 years old girl with Down's Syndrom into normal school;yet we still need a qualified shadow , with or without previous experience,to keep her company at school.
She is friendly and so are her parents, and they are planing to send her to Oxford School.She will be joining grade 2 there.
Any idea where to get such a shadow ?
It's a Qatari independent school for boys but this approach is being implemented in most independent school throughout the country.
really !!!!! name the school plz... it is really a news for me ....
Well, actually it was in Qatar itself and a Qatari school for boys, more precisely.
i know frenchie, but its not the system in qatar , and i m referring to tht... only
Strom, the new modern trend is to integrate special needs into normal classes so that they get used to mixing with normal kids just as they will have to confront the whole of society when they grow up.
In the last school I taught, autistic children were kept with normal children in one class. They were however assigned shadow teachers to assist and guide them.
Strom ,dear,
Actually that is what I was told by the mother of the girl.Actually I am inquiring for her.But ,yes that is what she was told, cause the manager of Oxford did see the girl and interviewed her, and it seems that she was ok.
hazem one question, oxford has agreed that they will take the girl with shadow teacher ??? as far as i know special kids are not encourged with mainstream schools....
Thanks Strom, Ihave been thinking to contact centers like Omega, as well.I will give it a try , thanks alot
thanks Mr. guilt.Very informative.thanks
/-at-/ is used for security reasons in QL. Please replace that with @ symbol from your keyboard.
i m glad frenchies has offered her services for the kid, but special need children are bit different than the normal ones and they require really a trained teacher for that ... no offense to frenchie..
plz consult omega centre , they once told me they can provide a shadow teacher ....
