Presentation of the work of the Parents’ Club at the Final Conference made by the Chairperson of the Club Rohat Rakhmatullaeva

In the framework of the project we organized a Parents’ Club. Our meetings are held in the form of conversation, collaborative activities, teaparties. At our meetings we share experiences, talk about life, we obtain new knowledge. For many parents it is important to find people who understand their problems. They need moral support. At our meetings we talk, how to interact with the environment, where there the values of inclusive society are not enough formulated, where you need to protect yourself and a «special» child from tactlessness.

Parents of children with special needs frequently asked questions, how to explain to the child his physical differences from other people. How to help him build relationships with their peers. The doors of our club is always open for all. Parents of children without special needs also come to our club. Many parents of children without special needs are suspicious and wary of inclusive education. They ask the same questions: Could spending time with «special children» affect ordinary (their) children negatively?

The child will grow and he will meet with all sorts of children and adults, and he should be able to communicate with them. Departing from kindergarten to school, he has to take from there not only basic knowledge, but also social skills and ability of interaction with people. There are more and more children with disabilities so they will be met by any normal child in every school. My speech, I would like to end with the words of Socrates: «There is a sun in every person. Just let it shine». I think this is our common goal - let our suns shine!

Thank you for your attention!
