课程概述

This course is about caring for and educating children (and youth) with severe to profound intellectual disability. We use the idea of 'circles' to position the child at the center of the many levels of support needed. Around the child are circles of care and education - such as the parents, family, friends, caregivers, educators, health care workers, and others such as neighbors, business owners, and community members. Each one has an important role to play in the life of a person with an intellectual disability and can be seen as a caregiver and educator. Although this course is aimed particularly at caregivers who work at a special centre or in a private home, each person in the circle of care and education plays a valuable role and will find the course useful. The course covers topics such as intellectual disability, levels of severity of intellectual disability, and the history of intellectual disability. These inform how you can support children and youth with severe to profound intellectual disability so that they can reach their full potential and become participating members of society. We look at lifelong learning by exploring brain development, the learning process, and how to maximise the opportunities for learning. We ask experts about how best learning can be facilitated. This includes looking at children’s learning support needs, how to go about planning activities for the learning programme, as well as how to empower multiple people who work in a team to care and educate children with severe to profound intellectual disability. In the last week, we focus on rights, advocacy and relationships of care. Empowering and caring for caregivers themselves is a key focus of the course. For professional development purposes, you can purchase a Verified Certificate if you wish to show evidence of your achievements, but this is optional, and you can apply for Financial Aid if you are unable to pay the certificate fee....

The descriptions of how to approach and characterize learning with a disabled child was very enligtening for me, so I am thankful. However, I've felt like a lot of time was used to transfer little informations at times. The course also stayed theoretical at times, like for example regarding good communication between colleagues. It is of course important to maintain good contact within a team, but more ideas on how to apply that practically should have been given.

I enjoyed this course. I was able to get the necessary perspective, understanding and knowledge with respect to providing care to a severe to profound intellectually disabled child. Thanks.

Some videos were verbose and can be reduced a bit. Adding a 'reading material' with summary on each video will really help (or a downloadable PDF for future reference) the learners.
