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.

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.

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 ....
