The Kindergartens at Tricon Elementary are really enjoying their first coding week!! #codeNLESD @nlesdca @triconschool

Having functional skills are essential for independent living.Check out @empowernl1 and their advocacy programs. They help individuals with CID daily to build their own skills and determine their own approach to solving their own probs. #ED3610 #funcitionalcurriculumisequallyimp

One way to ensure the right to support and services for persons with CIDs across their life span is to get them involved! Take advantage of community supports, like @empowernl1. They support cross-disabilities of various ages. #ED3610 #M5 #everyonehastherightofchoice

One program that The Vera Perlin Centre offers which is
effective for high school students (18 years of age) with CIDs is the Domestic Science program.
They provide an opportunity to learn essential life skills in a safe
environment to promote independent living. #ED3610 #M4

If a task seems too complex for students with CIDs, the result could lead to an overwhelmed student who is unable to complete the task at hand.
Breaking a complex task down into more manageable sections can be an effective strategy for student with CIDs. #ED3610 #M4

“IQ
tests regulate access to educational programming” is extremely concerning. IQ tests are cultural specific and therefore doesn’t work in every culture, who is responsible for its validity? #ED3601Fall18

Students with ID
have many more challenges than an intellectual deficit, such as building peer
relationships and essential life skills. Inclusion and programming has
defiantly helped these children with ID with these challenges.

“IQ tests regulate access to educational programming” is extremely concerning. IQ tests measure of bothverbal and performance. But what about other abilities (Gardner multiple intelligences) that are there that are not measured? #ED3601Fall18#M2 #whataboutGardner

Physical wellness is more than appearance. Also, I agree with WHO's definition of health. #HKR1000 #onlyyoucanmakethedifference
