they're unique!

This is my first time to interact with special needs children at such close quarter. Personally, I feel that the school has been putting a lot of afford in guiding and cultivating these students. Students with special needs have to be reared with great attention and care by parents and school. This program has been conducted to let these two main parties to works together to assist the children with special needs better. The talk given by Min See gave me a new idea about how ‘play’ can be used when dealing with special needs children. Just a simple game will teach them some of the skills. Activities such as catching the ankle can improve their brain development, riding the horse can let them play the role of leader and follower and how to teach them to learn words by using games. These no doubt will make the learning process become more interesting and help them to learn easily. I was in great agitation when those kids perform on the stage with full of confident. They are expressing themselves through their interests. AwesomeIt’s like a celebration of their uniqueness! I think their parents were proud of them too. Just like a snowflake or a fingerprint, every child especially a child with special needs, is unique in their own special way.

  1. When each of us discover something that one absolutely love doing and then get to love the way one do it, that's when we recognises the uniqueness of all of us. CAT offers the potential frame to experience such discovery. Thus, every adult would benefit to remember that it is the child in man that is the source of his uniqueness and creativeness, the capacity for 'play' nurtures such an emergence.
