I am glad that I have the opportunity, even 12 years later, from this experience, to enrich my knowledge and my strategy in education for children with special needs.
Thanks you]]> 2018-10-16 13:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mara_lina23/5asnyax6ax3l/wish/293332323 mara_lina23 https://padlet.com/mara_lina23/5asnyax6ax3l/wish/313647875 2018-12-11 22:01:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mara_lina23/5asnyax6ax3l/wish/313647875 Hello , my name is Athina Paroussi , and this is my padlet mara_lina23 https://padlet.com/mara_lina23/5asnyax6ax3l/wish/313647952 2018-12-11 22:02:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mara_lina23/5asnyax6ax3l/wish/313647952 Time line mara_lina23 https://padlet.com/mara_lina23/5asnyax6ax3l/wish/313648399 2018-12-11 22:03:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mara_lina23/5asnyax6ax3l/wish/313648399 Ice-Breaking mara_lina23 https://padlet.com/mara_lina23/5asnyax6ax3l/wish/313649630 2018-12-11 22:09:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mara_lina23/5asnyax6ax3l/wish/313649630 Special needs experience mara_lina23 https://padlet.com/mara_lina23/5asnyax6ax3l/wish/313650349 One year, with Alex
The first student of my teaching career was a 5-year-old autistic child.
He had no verbal communication, nor with his family members, any physical contact was impossible, and his stay in class with other students, utopia.
I'm not a special education teacher.
Alex and I, we were trained together.
During the first two months, Alexis learned to me, to observe him, to understand his needs, to respect his space, and to try to approach him, to enter his field of vision without disturbing him.
The sequel was stark.
In the following 6 months, with games of pictures and words, with patience and perseverance, Alex learned the first 200 words to serve his needs, stepped out of our classroom and managed to stay for a few hours daily in class with students of the same age, the next year Alex was in a regular kindergarten class,
I felt pride, joy, I felt like an architect building a bridge to join an isolated lighthouse with a distant island.
I taught patience and perseverance.
And always , with my pupils , in my teaching, I keeping in my thought ,the little prince's scene, where the fox explains to the little prince how to approach it  .]]> 2018-12-11 22:12:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mara_lina23/5asnyax6ax3l/wish/313650349 Current situationWhat is the current situation in your country regarding the education of students with SEN? Where are SEN students taught? mara_lina23 https://padlet.com/mara_lina23/5asnyax6ax3l/wish/313651527 In my country  , the pupils with SEN , are more and more in the typical classrooms with the pupils at the same age ,  with an assistant , or in the commons schools  in a classroom with a teacher for  pupils with specia
l needs for a few hours dayly and the rest of the schooltime in the common classrooms . 
There are also schools , exclusively for the pupils with SEN .]]> 2018-12-11 22:17:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mara_lina23/5asnyax6ax3l/wish/313651527 Inclusive environmentsHow can you design inclusive educational environments? What key ingredients could you add to your current classroom to make it more inclusive? mara_lina23 https://padlet.com/mara_lina23/5asnyax6ax3l/wish/313652483 If I have to choose one key that is 
Teachers with experience , or training the teachers about the stragedies that they could use for an inclusive classroom .
More keys

How useful is an inclusive classroom for the pupils with or without disabilities .
My principal question is , how can I convince the parents of my pupils to accept  one or more pupils with SEN in the same classroom with their children , as the community is not so mature to understand this and usually prevent their children , to create friendships with the pupils with SEN]]> 2018-12-11 22:25:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mara_lina23/5asnyax6ax3l/wish/313653318 Challenges of special education and general teachersSpecial education teachers and general teachers face many challenges daily trying to reach all learners.
