You created a beautiful amazing song/ video that should be played at every teacher training program.Every school should show it at the first teacher meeting in the beginning of the school year. There is so much that children with learning disabilities /emotional difficulties can do can do to help their teachers classmates, and school.Principals and teachers need to brainstorm and find solutions. The Israeli army has figured out how to provide meaningful work for their soldiers who have Down’s Syndrome. Young women like Malkie AH can work two hours a day in the school’s office, in a Pre-K class, supervise elementary children in the lunchroom , gym or schoolyard. These volunteer experiences give the students motivation to go to school, and helps them build self esteem. It also provides them with work experience. Artistic students can draw or paint for teachers who need their assistance.The possibilities are endless. May Hashem heal all the cholim and may we all be part of the solution to help every young Jewish child thrive and become contributing members to Am Yisrael.
I know a woman who is married, living a successful life, and working as a nurse, even though she struggled greatly in school and was labeled as having a learning disability. She once told me that if she hadn't had an older sister already attending the high school she applied to, and if her parents hadn't been able to pay tuition, she likely would not have been accepted. Had that happened, she probably would not be where she is today.
Stories like hers show that the school system still needs a lot of tikkun (improvement). Too often, labels and barriers can limit opportunities for capable people who simply learn differently.
