Special Education Week

[Muteswan]

I just saw this on the Swansea City DSA Facebook page
It's special education week, autism, ADHD, dyslexia... and the month of awareness for all these difficulties.
In honor of all the children who struggle everyday to succeed and their parents who do whatever they can to help them daily.
(Just copy and paste. )
Raise awareness make life easier for our kids

Indeed, well said.
My wife was a teacher of blind and visually impaired children and was responsible in Swansea for babies from birth/diagnosis, helping parents to cope and assessment of the best educational placement going forward.
She had children who were severely damaged and vision issues were only one of a myriad of problems, right through to blind and visually impaired children who were successful at A level and went on to higher education.

As a parent of a child with ASD then support is absolutely vital from schools, teachers and LSAs in conjunction with parents. I am ever thankful for the team at Calday Grammar in Wirral who took my son through to 'A' level success and just completing year 2 at UWE.

That’s correct, Mutey. Part of my wife’s teaching time is dedicated to intervention; helping those who need that little bit of extra care and attention through the secondary school years. She gets enormous satisfaction from it. Incidentally, it was mental health awareness week last week. Another great initiative to promote in schools.

Daughter is a TA in a special needs school in Penlan and alternates occasionally to Clase and Dyfatty. She loves the job and is totally dedicated to it, we are very proud of her.

She’s had a great role model.

Not so sure about that.

Not so sure about that.

You’re too modest.

My wife is, though in a mainstream school. Primarily she works one-to-one with SEN kids and lower ability maths teaching.
