The special education initiative in the Philippines began as early as 1902. It has been nearly a century and two decades; but until now, our country has not yet known the IDEA or the Education for the Disabled Act. However, there is a Senate bill to promote this need, Senator Bill 1298 agrees with Senator Joel Villanueva. In the absence of IDEA, our special education system has no specific parameters. Sadly, there is no legislation that requires other basic resources to be of great help to teachers.
Despite the lack of basic barriers, our Ministry of Education has recently clearly expressed its desire for inclusive education. Inclusive education refers to the full participation of children with special needs in ordinary schools. We also have a Senate bill awaiting inclusive education, with Senator Win Gathchalian supporting Senate Bill 996.
Most school teachers from private and public schools have expressed concern about their willingness to deal with inclusive plans. They stated that they lacked skilled training in the task. Ordinary classroom teachers have foreseen the pressure and difficulty of dealing with the classroom. They are overwhelmed as early as now.
If we have IDEA, our special education needs will provide children with a large number of professionals and appropriate assessments. Diagnosis alone is not enough. It is best to evaluate the appropriate developmental problems for each child. Similarly, for their educational needs, assessments from professionals familiar with teaching and curriculum will provide a lot of help. Through this detailed educational assessment, our regular classroom teachers who deal with children with special needs will receive better information and pictures about the child's current performance levels.
If we have an IDEA, our regular classroom teachers who handle special needs will have the resources to alleviate the suffering of the inclusive plan pursued. Ideally, each school or school district has its own special education department. This provides the first and best resource for the average teacher. The special education department will be a professional and experienced person. The department will also have teachers and associate professionals who have received appropriate child training for special educational needs. They will assist in modifying the course materials to meet the needs of children. Ordinary classroom teachers can ask them for ideas for modifying activities and assessments.
If we have an IDEA, the average classroom teacher will have an IEP or a personalized curriculum plan for children with special needs. It will list very specific goals and objectives for children with special needs. It also includes a list of possible activities and strategies to achieve the goals outlined therein. This is a very important and indispensable tool designed to help classroom teachers understand how best to meet the needs of specific children. Ordinary classroom teachers should receive a copy of the IEP for each child in need in a confidential folder. But unfortunately, many classroom teachers never pay attention to this important document, so they are full of information about children. This is because there is no law to force it, some people think it does not matter, and dismissed its preparation.
If we have an IDEA, special education requires children to get free education in the public school system.
Every child with special needs has the ability to succeed. Everyone will succeed according to their personal abilities. Focus on your child's strengths and support their weaknesses. Let every child feel and know that you believe him or her. For you and your children, rewards are beyond words.
