May 7 SPECIAL NEEDS EDUCATION a dream?

Sue Hodge and Liz Loadwick from Beacon education join me.

What is special needs education?

Special educational needs — What does it mean?

The term 'special educational needs' has a legal definition. Children with special educational needs all have learning difficulties or disabilities that make it harder for them to learn or access education than most children of the same age. These children may need extra or different help from that given to other children of the same age.

So where are we in the UAE?

Do we care?

YES and no.

Some schools are telling the clients to go someplace else.

Some schools are simply jacking up fees.

Some schools have it right.

Beacon Education seems to be one of those education providers that is at the least talking a good story.

And as Sue Hodge said if you want to find out more about what you can do or how to find support call her and she will set you on the track.

But what about teaching assistants in any class shouldn't they be mandatory?

A class of 24 kids and one teacher?

Sure there is a cost but are the children not worth it?

Some say a good teacher can handle the crowd... why are we reducing teachers to crowd control when we could make their job more effective.

The job?

Chief inspiration officers.
