mental retardation and volunteers warm up before going hiking on weekends. At enido
the obstacle is our cause, not the child
the moment he heard the answer, Wang Xiao recalls that she hates the little girl as her teacher.
they quickly integrate into the local circle: neighbours will take the initiative to invite Chen to a home; Chen's skiing and golf are all free, and this is the welfare of a special child.
there are twin students in Chen's class, and they are all down's syndrome when they are the same age as Chen. The two children's mother told Wang Xiao that even after the child was diagnosed, the doctor told her not to worry, "these two children will do anything they want to do later."
American doctors are not blindly optimistic. "The change of family role in the family support of disabled children in foreign countries and the enlightenment to China" (Hu Xiaoyi, 2016) is introduced as follows:
20 century 70s, the trend of thought to be institutionalized and to regress the mainstream of disabled children has flourished in the European and American countries; in
1990, the United States promulgated the law on the protection of children with disabilities. In
1994, the United Nations Educational, scientific and cultural organization,
1994, made clear that the education of disabled children was the common responsibility of parents and professionals;
the content of family support began to widen. Including the provision of economic subsidies, medical insurance, psychological counseling, and barrier free facilities for families, from training to household services, parents mutual assistance, and other providers from professional personnel to volunteers, government workers, students at school and so on.
these little family support made Wang Xiao more aware of disability and changed Chen. He had friends.
you can see that before the age of 15, Chen and his colleagues were elderly people. After the age of 15, he was surrounded by peers.
one day, Wang Xiao spoke more loudly to her husband, and Chen Yu shouted out "shut up (shut up)". Wang Xiao was even more frightened. Did he not play the role of tears after being scolded from small to large? How can he reprimand his parents now?
she regards this as a thorny problem and asks people around her for advice. The mothers around them feel normal, aren't all puberty boys like this?
Chen began to say more and more. No, unlike his parents who went out to see people for dinner, he had to follow him wherever he went. He began to have the ability to judge independently.
his change makes Wang Xiao more introspection, the same child, why be cautious in China, but in the United States, you can live without obstacles? She gradually realized that obstacles were caused by us, not children.
husband's expatriate work expired in 5 years, and the family returned to China. Wang Xiao is more eager to introduce the experience in the United States to China.
2011 in May, she and 15 parents of special children spontaneously organized the family support center for the fusion of love and happiness mentally disabled (hereinafter referred to as "fusion of love and happiness").
more and more mentally retarded parents are taking action.
three years after the founding of "Rong love and thaw", in July 2014, 18 parent organizations in the country set up a non-profit network organization, the National Association of mental handicapped parents' Association (hereinafter referred to as "the Federation"), hoping to achieve a comprehensive and equal integration into the society for the mentally handicapped and their families and live a more dignified life. Wang Xiao is the first chairman of the board.
