Do you work in a coordinated way with the family? Yolibel: Coordination is absolutely necessary. If there is no coordination between the staff of the center that takes care of them and the family, the achievement of the objectives leaves much to be desired, because the work of these children does not end at the time of leaving the school, does not end with any student In general, because the family has to be the continuation, but with these children the thing is much more important because they, due to their characteristics, need a job not very heavy but very constant, not that they tire them a lot but do not leave To do so for a long time.
And the families collaborate? In general, yes. Does the public school have sufficient means to be able to attend these children properly? No, not at all. The main shortcomings are mainly staff. Also material, because many times the professionals who dedicate ourselves to this type of education we have to look for our own material resources so that these children do not lack anything.
What would you ask the administration? More awareness of the need to provide the necessary resources so that these children can achieve their integral education.
Would it require an education of the own society with respect to this problematic? Yes, but obviously this does not depend on the administration, yes on education, and in this sense the fundamental thing is education within the family.
Is society aware? While the children are small, there is not much problem. The problem is rising and increasing as the child grows, because since leaving school, where we have more protected and have a more individualized attention.
Would these people need a lifelong education? The truth is that if. Evidently, since they are very small, the training must be done conscientiously, with the appropriate means, with the collaboration of the family, that carries out with the child the types of activity that are indicated to them from the school.
Do you feel that families do not support you in your work?
Yes, in general, it is so. The family does not offer full support as it should. They do not often see us as accomplices in the education of their children.
