How do I support children with special needs?

cae Special Education, Special Needs, WSQ Monday, October 17, 2022Special Education, special needs, WSQ

Helping children with special needs can sometimes feel like something insurmountable, but there are ways that you can effectively help them.

Each child requires help in their own way, and in different areas; and some children need more help than others. Some children may need help learning how to communicate, while another may need to learn how to get along with their peer in class, or family members at home. Some children may need more time and resources dedicated to them.

Being able to help children with special needs means teaching them the tools and methods that will allow them to best learn, and be independent and successful in their day to day life and activities. This will give them a sense of accomplishment and boost their self-esteem and confidence.

You may feel tired, and frustrated; but so will they. Give them space to breath and play. Let them be kids, and encourage them. Also, learn how they communicate, and take some time to listen to them. Often, kids just want your attention and love; and that is as important as anything else you can help them with.

I've really enjoyed my time studying at CAE, it's a really wholesome and refreshing experience.. The lecturers here are subject expert, warm, and friendly. The admin staff will go the extra mile to help and support us with what we need during our studies. Also, there's always new concepts you can learn in every lesson unlike other school where the lectures are only one way communication - boring and pointless. Here is more of a lively discussion where it depicts the real world out there. On a scale of 1-10, I would rate this school an 11. CAE is a unique and inspiring place! #mentalhealthread more

Gained valuable practical knowledge & skills from this course. Initially, I had my doubts to do a career switch in counselling. But after attending the preview session (which was highly informative & inspirational) & completing their postgrad diploma, I can confidently assure to all future students that you are in good hands. The school has tremendously supported me throughout my entire journey from start till end. Staff were helpful and prompt in assisting. Lecturers were unselfish in sharing their knowledge & real-life experiences. As long as the students are willing to put in their effort and time, I don’t see much of an issue. It is as good as taking your degree in established government institutionread more

With zero knowledge & background in special education, a CAE staff (shout-out to Melissa) invited me for a preview talk and she gave a very clear introduction of the Diploma modules and explained well the career path and her teaching experience as well, which gave me a better understanding and confidence in pursuing a career in this new field. I took a 6-month Diploma in Education (Special Needs) in Oct last year and it has been an eye-opening and knowledge-enriching experience given the 2 lecturers who were practicing in the field, hence every lecture was never boring as the lecturers referenced heavily on the real-life situations and their teaching experiences and encounters have added extra value to the whole program. Overall, I would recommend the Diploma program to those who are considering entering into the Sped field or who want to just know more about it. Special thanks to Melissa who has ensured that I had a smooth and pleasant experience during my studying period in CAE, very helpful! Cheers!read more
