Have you noticed that there are more and more \”special needs children\” in kindergartens?

01 There are more and more children with special needs in kindergartens. Many teachers have discovered that there are more children with special needs in kindergartens every year. The discovery of these special children does not require special training. Teachers can easily detect them. , because their performance and behavior will be different from others, and some children will even have obvious differences in expressions and language. They do not listen to the teacher\’s instructions and do everything according to their own ideas. They cannot concentrate and need to leave at any time. Walking around, holding something in his hand, sometimes disappearing as soon as he turns around, the teacher needs to look for him everywhere, irritable, and sometimes attacks others for no reason. Faced with such a child, the teacher will be particularly hard-working and afraid of himself It is dangerous to run out, and I am afraid that he will hurt other children. This type of child often requires more energy from the teacher. A child usually needs at least one teacher to watch over it. A kindergarten may have 1-2 such There are about 80 or 90 children who need special care, but now they are basically in every class. There are about 80 or 90 children in the entire school who have been accurately diagnosed. However, there are about ten more children who have not been diagnosed, but have behavioral, emotional, and social problems. 02 What are special needs children? Children with special needs refer to children who have various special education requirements due to individual differences. These children may have psychological development, physical development, learning, life and other aspects that are higher or lower than the requirements of normal children for a long time or for a certain period of time. Needs include not only requirements for a certain developmental defect, but also requirements for abilities, social factors, etc. that have an impact on learning. Children with special needs can be divided into different types, such as intellectual retardation, physical and sensory impairments (visual disabilities, hearing impairment), physical disabilities, speech disorders, behavioral abnormalities, learning disabilities, autism (autism), Asperger syndrome, sensory integration disorder, etc. In China, special education is mainly oriented to vision, hearing, speech, etc. In order to meet the educational and development needs of children with special needs, the country and governments at all levels have formulated a series of policies and measures. For example, the \”Action Plan for the Development and Improvement of Special Education during the 14th Five-Year Plan\” forwarded by the General Office of the State Council proposed the initial goal of establishing a high-quality special education system by 2025, including increasing the enrollment rate of compulsory education for school-age children with disabilities, comprehensively improving In addition to education quality, improvement of guarantee mechanisms, etc., the \”Opinions on Promoting the High-Quality Development of Children\’s Medical and Health Services\” issued by 10 departments including the National Health Commission also emphasized strengthening the training of pediatric professionals and increasing the transfer training of pediatricians. Strengthen, cultivate and reserve high-level comprehensive pediatric talents and other measures to improve the level of children\’s medical and health services. The educational and medical needs of children with special needs are an important symbol of the progress of social civilization and require the joint efforts and efforts of families, schools, medical and social aspects. Support 03 Why are there more and more children with special needs in kindergartens? The increase in the number of children with special needs has caused us to have heavier teaching tasks. So what causes it? I think there may be several reasons: 1. Diagnostic standardsUpdate: With the development of medicine and psychology, the awareness and understanding of special needs continues to deepen, and the diagnostic standards are constantly updated and refined, allowing more children with special needs to be identified and diagnosed. 2. Increase in public awareness : Society’s awareness and acceptance of children with special needs is increasing. More parents and educators realize that certain behavioral and learning difficulties may be manifestations of special needs, so more children have received attention and diagnosis. 3. Policy and legal support: The government has paid more attention to and invested in special education, and the introduction of relevant laws and policies, such as the implementation of the \”14th Five-Year Plan for the Development and Promotion of Special Education\”, has provided more opportunities for children with special needs to receive education. Opportunities also allow more children to be included in statistics 4. Changes in demographic structure: With the adjustment of childbirth policies, the proportion of older mothers has increased, which may increase the risk of childbirth, thus leading to an increase in the number of children with special needs 5. Environment and life Changes in methods: Some studies believe that changes in environmental factors and lifestyles may have an impact on children\’s physical and mental development, which may also be a factor in the increase in the number of children with special needs. 6. Improvements in statistics and reporting: With the improvement of statistical methods and reporting With the improvement of the mechanism, more children with special needs are included in statistics, which may also lead to an increase in the number. What needs to be said is that the increase in the number of children with special needs is not necessarily a bad thing. It reflects society\’s attitude towards this group. More attention and support will help them obtain a better education and growth environment. 04 Should kindergartens accept children with special needs? Whether general kindergartens should accept children with special needs is an issue involving educational equity and social inclusion. According to relevant policies and practices, ordinary kindergartens have positive significance and policy support for accepting children with special needs. From a policy perspective, the Chinese government has been promoting integrated education and encouraging ordinary schools and kindergartens to accept children with special needs. For example, the \”14th Five-Year Plan\” Action Plan for the Development and Improvement of Special Education proposes that by 2025, the enrollment rate of compulsory education for children with disabilities nationwide should reach a goal of 97%, and emphasizes the importance of promoting inclusive education and comprehensively improving the quality of special education. In addition, there are suggestions to ensure that children with special needs have equal access to preschool integrated education opportunities. All kindergartens should bear the main responsibility of accepting children with special needs in their own communities. From the perspective of educational value, integrated education can help promote the social development of children with special needs. Integration and personalized development. Children with special needs receive education in ordinary kindergartens and can learn and communicate with ordinary children. This not only helps the social skills and emotional development of children with special needs, but also enhances the tolerance and understanding of ordinary children. From a practical level, ordinary children Kindergarten requires certain support and conditions to accept children with special needs. For example, professional teacher training, reasonable allocation of educational resources, and complete barrier-free facilities are required. Meeting these conditions will help ensure that children with special needs can receive appropriate education and care in ordinary kindergartens. Ordinary kindergartens should actively accept special needs if policy support and conditions permit.Wanting children will not only help achieve educational equity, but also reflect the progress of social civilization. At the same time, this also requires the joint efforts and support of families, schools, governments and society. Of course, if children with special needs are admitted, then I think teachers also need to have the skills to guide children with special needs. This is also a problem that kindergartens need to solve. For this type of children, we need more energy and more professional skills!
