Communication

2. De-segregation of yourself and by others

Doing this module will raise your awareness of the need to be included in local community and society as much as possible. For this the training is trying to help you understand the notion of inclusion as compared to integration, raise awareness of special mindsets and approaches of parents with children with ID. Completing the sub-module you will be able to identify and overcome self-segregation, identify your limitations (if any) in welcoming diversity. Based on this you will have enhanced communication with your child's teachers, professionals supporting him/her and other parents about issues regarding positive coexistence at school, setting and in community. You will be able to suggest some possible activities you might be involved in to increase inclusion at school and empowered to encourage your child to be involved in supporting inclusion at school and in community.
