For those of us who are parents of children with disabilities, and merit group therapies that insert them into the path of personal relationships with their peers, without any discrimination; With a sense of responsibility, belonging and assessment, they should know that the Scout organization has that space available.
I have a child with mild developmental disorder. That condition is indicated within the value parameters of the autistic spectrum. It is normal for this type of audience to opt for isolation since they focus their attention on learning many things but without contact with the external world. But human beings are not an island: they need to see each other, relate. Look in the face of others and recognize that the presence of other children. For this, friction and sharing are important.
Specialists in the field recommend integration therapies, gross motor, fine, in short those necessary to break the barriers of the infant with their environment. There are professionals who dedicate themselves to that and charge their fees for that work.
In the Scouts I discovered that my son can do a set of things that transcend him and relate to the time and space that he has to live. There are group dynamics where you must team up with other children: that subtracts to the point of doing things alone. You have to throw yourself to the floor, to the engramado or to work with sand or earth: the important thing of this is that it stimulates other senses and overcomes hypersensitivity. You must also talk, see others face: recognize them. There are many things that my son has overcome thanks to the insertion policy of this beautiful organization.
It is no longer just my son: there are currently 11 boys and girls with neurological conditions participating every Saturday of this magnificent adventure.
ALWAYS THE BEST!
