the air.

12. REFLECTION
As a teacher or a parent someday I should not demand that
the kids must be top in all their subjects so that they can live
out the unfulfilled ambitions of their parents. Each child is
special in the sense that they have their own calling, which may
or may not be in line with what their families want.

13. REFLECTION
I highly regard this movie for advocating the “disability
perspective”: that there are a lot of special children who have
given up trying to meet age-appropriate demands because of
disabilities.

14. REFLECTION
Every Child Is Special is a movie that can tug
the heartstrings and at the same time bring
hope that having dyslexia is not really a
desperate situation. Friends and family
support, patience, and love are central themes
in this story.

15. REFLECTION
I must interact the child in a good way. Connect to the child a
polite conversation.
I must be flexible to help the child go through the motions
and assign a buddy to help the child practice on the sidelines
for a few minutes. As example In a religious education class, a
child may have difficulty understanding some concepts; but
when those same concepts are presented in a game or hands-
on art project, they make more sense.

16. REFLECTION
Perhaps, consistent to the rules that I imposed.
In this matter like chess I must have a plan otherwise back-up
plan.
We must know what they say about the best-laid plans. In the
world of special needs, there is always a Plan B, and usually a
Plan C. Make sure that there is space to calm down and move
freely if things go badly. Think about what each participant
can do instead of focusing on what they can’t contribute.

17. REFLECTION
Lastly, I must be positive all the times in dealing child,
Accordingly A positive attitude is the single most important
quality for anyone who works with children with special needs.
That’s why we keep signing up for more activities. We might
even end up in an activity with you someday.
