reviews

«The course contains a large number of video lectures lasting 10 minutes. In each lecture, the main points faced by a teacher working in an inclusive school are revealed in a simple form. The classification of the most frequent disorders occurring in students of this type of educational institutions, criteria, features of perception and experiences of children with these diagnoses are given. There are also tasks for independent work. There are open-type tasks where you need to reflect on the topic and there is testing. Lectures are available without restrictions for all students, tasks are opened gradually. The principle from simple to complex is observed (the material begins with the basic concepts of pedagogy), references are made to the current legislation, later a transition is made to the analysis of specific disorders and their features, autism spectrum disorders, mental retardation, cerebral palsy, post-traumatic stress disorder and many others are analyzed. Towards the end of the course, the focus is on effective teaching methods in an inclusive school. It also reveals how to build an individual learning trajectory for children with special needs. There are modules on diagnostic and assessment capabilities, the international experience of inclusive educational programs is taken into account, ethical issues of interaction with children with special needs are considered.»

«I am Majitova Bayan Bekeshovna, taking online courses for tutors. I really liked the proposed course format and presentation of the material. Combining lectures with assigned tasks and tests, for better learning. The lectures themselves are taught easily and informatively, as a result, there is an idea about pedagogy, psychology, school work, inclusion, pedagogical support for children with special educational needs, diagnosis and types of diseases. For me, it’s like getting an extra education at a university in a more accelerated way. All important points in inclusion, new technologies and modern methods are highlighted. Thanks to all who organized the course and gave an opportunity to become a professional in this difficult but very interesting profession!»

«Elizabeth, thank you again for the workshop. It was very informative, useful and interesting. Secondly, many points have been dealt with in great detail. Third, there was a clear notion of what actions to take, what questions to ask yourself in order to achieve positive dynamics and results in the education of children with the PLO. 3 actions: 1. I make a map of achievements for my son and every day projector achievements and mark on the map 2. Before doing any action, we first do it without scissors, without glue for example, to secure. Then we go into action. 3. I’m a donor to my child, so I primarily look after my mental state to positively influence and charge my child. If I feel that I am not cleaning, I try to have more rest, sleep, elementary approach to the mirror, stand smiling until I begin to feel joy, see a good movie that charges. Have a good weekend! It was nice to see everyone.»

Indeed, the mother’s heart, instinct, intuition, knows itself, feels, prompts and guides. So many worries, doubts, tears from the past years and now I hear that that strategy, that direction I chose in the development of my child with cerebral palsy
