SPECIAL NEEDS

I can't talk too much about this subject because some of the days i was in Spain (because i had to go to the doctor), but i think it's one of the most interesting subject, maybe because i'm a special needs teacher.

We talked about inclusive school, about our experiences, we compared the special education in different countries...it was so good!

I want to show you a video about autism. It's in french so some of you can understand it. I tried to found it in english but was impossible...sorry!

The video it's about a girls talking about her little autistic brother.

I made the translation for you, i hope you like it!!

My little brother from the moon

I remember when my little brother borns, he couldn't stops eating, he ate a lot, too much, too much...he cried also, too much, too much but he doesn't sleeped a lot.

Now my little brother is not so small, but he doesn't move so much, he doesn't speak also. Sometimes, i hope to make him laugh...but it doesn't works, he do like if he doesn't saw me, like he doesn't heard me...

My little brother always is looking at the sky and he doesn't move, except sometimes when mum is working with the vacuum cleaner, when something is cooking, when we pass under a tunnel or when we sing "happy birthday", when there are guest at home and he doesn't want, when we cut his nails, when he clap, and when we try to cut his hair...then, he is very angry and is not so funny...

Dad and mum have to profit when he is sleeping to cut his hair but very carefully

My little brother goes to the kindergarden but he doesn't play with the other children, he continues looking up...like always

When we go for a walk, the people look at him too much and sometimes he do strange movements, he puts his arms up as he wanted to fly.
Some people is afraid about him, they thought that is a contagious illnes.

I show him jewels, he loves jewels because it brights, but he doesn't touch it or maybe just i little with the fingers.

He has gone to many doctors and specialists, too much , too much and he continues going to others.

Mum and dad say that he is not like the rest, is a little bit strange but i look a lot my little brother, this little brother who is always looking at the sky, even when we go shopping, even in the car, he loves looking at the sky.

My little brother was born as everybody but he also came a little bit from the moon...of course he likes bright things as the moon.
He likes everything which is round and similar to the moon like a sewer, he always stops in front of the sewers, that's true and if we want that he continues walking we have to put our feet on it for cover it and ¡hop! he continues walking.

Furthermore, he likes going up the stairs but not going down, he prefers going up. And he never stops going up, he goes up, and up, and up...

My little brother is a prince, a orchestra director prince. I would like to be a fairy to make magic on him to make him prefers to be here instead of the moon, i would take him my hand for make him to comes with me.

With my little brother we invent a language. We play the "hat game", i put on a hat and he laughs, he runs behind me and in that moment we are two, together, and it's good.
