parents group for learning disability
I have a son 6 year old, with, hyperactivity, and language difficulties and associated learning difficulties. He is attending a British school with a shadow teacher. But I am also looking at different options where he can have better academic support. Most schools in Doha claims to have learning support programs and inclusion policy on their website, but after contacting all of them I have realized that they do not accept students even with mild difficulties and discourage from applying. Learning center and shafflha is mostly for Qatari children with serious challenges. I feel that if parents as a group can approach some of these schools with reasonable number of students, they can persuade the schools to accommodate students with disabilities and provide professional help
i studied special education. inclusion can be good to your kid cuz it could give him the feeling of belongingness and it could also develop his social interaction which is the prob of many children with disability. however, classroom environment is a big factor to make this kind of set-up works! the teacher should be able to orient the rest of the students about him before going for inclusion so that everyone in class would be aware and would understand his condition cuz mocking in class could lead to worsening his case! more so, it is important that don't expect too much about ur kids' performance but rather accept and appreciate every simple thing he is able to do.
the problem here is that they don't give much importance to supporting such people.
im impressed with ur effort of encouraging those individuals that deal with children with disability to form something that would support and help them with their needs.
u are indeed a good parent! goodluck...
This is a great idea! Support for expat kids with disabilities is so limited at the schools Good luck!
hey Green S J how do you know what issues expatq faces whilst sat behind your computer typing moronic comments.
Do us a all a favour and buzz off.
Expatq pls pm me as we may face a similar scenario with our son
Are you not trying to get rid of your child in the disguise of Professional help?
He doesnot need Professional help but family help?
E, I hope you find the support you are looking for....
with prayers...!!!
