Spring is full of renewal and hope.
But for Liu Cheng, a teacher at the Qingyang District Special Education School in Chengdu, it is a difficult season. At this point, most autistic children in the class have mood swings and are uncomfortable.
at 11:30 am, the labor skills class of Class 1, Grade 8, Peizhi. The student’s task is to learn to peel the broad beans distributed by the teacher. Xiaopang is 14 years old and has autism. He is 1.75 meters tall, so everyone likes to call him "Little Pang". The little broad beans looked less obedient in Xiaopang's hands, and Xiaopang peeled them for about 10 minutes. After peeling the broad beans, Xiaopang seemed a little happy. After packing the table, he shouted loudly, "Yeah--".
The teacher distributes broad beans to students.
Little fat peeling broad beans is very difficult.
is over, and Xiaopang is lying on the table, frowning. Seeing that he was irritable, two classmates came over and patted him, trying to comfort him.
Xiaopang suddenly felt in a bad mood, and two classmates in the class came over to comfort him.
Emotional instability is a common collective symptom for children with autism, especially when they first arrived at the special school. Yang Baixue, the head teacher of Class 2 of Grade 5, remembers that in the first grade, the autistic child Lolo would hit the wall when he was excited.
"They often immerse themselves in their small corners, with certain social disorders, and their emotions are prone to losing control." Liu Cheng said. In the third grade, the class organized a trip. When he walked to the park gate, Xiaopang saw the amusement facilities in the park, so he refused to enter, no matter how parents and teachers persuaded him. He covered his ears and squatted in the corner, and the teachers had to give up.
According to data from 2018, 156 of the 235 students in Qingyang District Special School have autism. This ratio ranks first in the southwest region.
The parents' care is taken care of by one person for the rest of his life. Many of these parents have resigned and taken care of full-time caregivers.
Parental care is an important part. Through the window, you can see the dependence of a special education student on his grandmother (or grandmother). How to teach and guide
and how to get along with these children pose a great challenge to special school teachers. In addition to recruiting teachers to enrich their jobs and training, Qingyang District Special School began to explore allowing parents to accompany them since 2007. The reporter saw the parents accompanying them in all classrooms. They assisted the teachers and also did some exercises. The delivery and distribution of food during lunch was also the parents. Xiaopang's mother is full-time escort and is now a director of the Parents Alliance.
The continuous stream of volunteers also helped a lot, and some volunteers chose to stay after coming a few times. Wang Yong, chairman of the school’s trade union, came to volunteer when he was in college, and then went to the Qingyang special school to teach, take the children to swim, and do rehabilitation training.
But most of the work has to be completed by the school teacher, so companionship is very important. Autistic children speak slowly and have less words to memorize. They may not understand the other person's words and suddenly become nervous. The teaching process is lengthened and requires continuous repetition and drilling. Liu Cheng taught his two-year-old daughter "S"-shaped running for an hour, while the students in the class took about three or four months.
Class teacher Yang Baixue taught the children to identify stationery. She said the wrong thing and couldn't help laughing.
When she first came to school, Yang Baixue burst into tears. Not to mention getting along with the children all day long, she couldn't stand it even when she played the promotional video and cried.
Principal Bian Rong warned the teacher to persevere gently with a normal heart full of love. "Choose special education is indeed not just a job, but a belief and perseverance." She said, but in the process of serving children thousands of times, you need to be stronger and more methods. Although, she herself cried many times when she was helpless.
Yang Baixue gradually adjusts herself to get rid of the sympathy of singleness. If a child in the class is emotionally unstable, excessive behaviors often induce other children to follow suit. Once, Luo Luo cried and screamed. Yang Baixue asked her to go out and calm her down, but when her mother hugged her out, she held the door and kept it away. Yang Baixue insisted on letting her go out."Treat it normally, it can build trust."
is not only slower, fewer people, and parents are accompanied by them, but what the reporter saw in class is also "normal". In Yang Baixue's class, the classmate reads well, and Luo Luo will applaud, and she will read it smoothly. In another class, the children rushed to come to the stage to recite "Spring Dawn".
Lolo applauded the classmates.
But they will still be nervous when facing strangers. When chatting with Luo Luo, she looked at her watch from time to time, and repeatedly told Teacher Yang next to her that she was afraid that she would answer the reporter's questions incorrectly.
What you are afraid of is longing for. Yang Baixue said that the children like volunteers coming outside. Sometimes they project the shadows to themselves, amplify their dancing figures, and eager to attract attention.
"After contacting the child, remove the fear, you will find that our child is quite well-behaved." During the conversation, the teacher always likes to use "our". Both Yang Baixue and Liu Cheng hope that society can give "our" children more space, be tolerant and accept.
School teachers also guide parents to let their children abide by basic social rules and be more tolerant of misunderstandings when others do not understand, otherwise the misunderstandings will be deeper.
interview on Friday, after noon, parents took their children home one after another. There was a child who seemed to have no intention of going there and pulled his grandmother to play badminton. Luo Luo told reporters, "It's more fun here," because you have good friends, you can also make an appointment to go swimming. She refers to the swimming rehabilitation classes on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the teacher will take them out for training. The slightly stiff tone was filled with her happy aftertaste.
When school was about to end at noon, a child picked up a badminton racket and pulled his grandmother to practice.
In 2017, Lolo participated in the National Special Olympics and won a gold medal in swimming. After returning, the team held a sharing session at school. Luo Luo said, I want to show the gold medal to Teacher Yang immediately. "Oh, I'm really happy." Yang Baixue said that this may be normal for children in general schools, but it is rare for autistic children to take the initiative to "confess love".
Sudden "honey words" kept flowing out of Teacher Yang's mouth. For example, last Monday, Luo Luo suddenly walked into the office (the classroom of Qingyang Special School and the teacher's office are connected together) and said to Yang Baixue, "Teacher Yang, I love you." After that, he turned around and left, leaving Teacher Yang who had not yet come to his senses.
"Maybe these children can't remember that I have taught them in the future, but they need someone to accompany them in this life." Yang Baixue said, especially when she heard the children's sudden "confessions", she felt that all the waiting was worth it.
The door to time is also opened to Xiaopang’s mother. When the child is diagnosed with autism, it is said that he has to take care of him for a lifetime. "I thought to myself what to do." From confusion and anxiety to learning to adjust, she accompanied her son while participating in the school choir and dance team. "Only by living a good life, you can positively influence him."
One day, Xiaopang's mother discovered how the clothes she had been dried were put in and put on the bed. "Ah, it was taken by Xiaopang." She couldn't help but scream.
Yang Baixue class, students went on stage to read aloud. Although it was slow, they did not fall into words.
" On the occasion of World Autism Awareness Day, let us reaffirm these values, including a commitment to equality, equity and inclusion, and a commitment to promoting full participation of all people with autism, to ensure that they master the necessary tools for the exercise of their rights and fundamental freedoms."
- UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres
For many people with autism, access to affordable assistive technologies is a prerequisite for their exercise of basic human rights and full participation in community life, thus helping achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Assistive technology can reduce or even eliminate barriers, helping people with autism participate and enjoy the same rights as others.
Autism is a lifelong neurological disease that begins in early childhood, regardless of gender, race or socio-economic status. The term autism spectrum disorder points to a range of characteristics.Proper support, regulation, and acceptance of such neurological changes can give equitable opportunities for autism spectrum disorder populations and be able to participate fully and effectively in society.
In December 2007, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution that from 2008, April 2 of each year will be designated as "World Autism Day for Care" to increase people's attention to autism and related research and diagnosis, as well as patients with autism.
