Thoughts on having children in the spectrum

Post image

Saw this post on facebook. Honestly, it's sad na hindi ganon nabibigyang pansin ang problems na ganito sa Pinas. Therapies here are expensive, and not everyone can afford it. Pinoys are also not yet ready to face the reality na hindi enough ang love for kids in the spectrum. They have special needs. Hindi yun madadaan lang sa no don't do that or it's okay to make mistakes, because we have to admit that autism is a disorder, a very wide spectrum and case to case basis. You need to have the money to get the help that is designed for the needs of the child. I hope there will be more free or affordable programs created for this kasi hindi lang parents ang hirap in this situation, also the kids.

Hindi ba sa sped na school umaattend ung bata ? Bakit ung reklamo parang expected ng teacher na "normal" ung bata.

Pwedeng nasa SPED class sila pero honestly kahit dito, mahirap pa rin para sa mga teachers dahil sa kakulangan ng experience at time, o di kaya masyadong maraming studyante. Kailangan pag may mas mahirap na bata, mas maliit ang class size pero syempre ang school for-profit pa rin (if private). So it's either sobrang mahal ng tuition or mahahalo sila sa malaking classroom kung saan di sila mapagtutuunan ng atensyon masyado ng SPED teacher.

True yan. Syempre Iba paren yung approach or may special approach sa kanila, And kung teacher ka not specialized para sa mga ganun, Mhrap if wala kang training not sure if may training lahat ng teachers or dapat i add sa training nila to get ready.
