INSTILL
Direction: Think-Pair-Share. Contact a classmate, compare your answers to the questions
given. Agree on a common answer. Submit via LMS.
We do agree to the answer we have taken in a certain number, that the government have a
prior program for children with special needs, and it is right and just. Promoting diversified and
variation of the students is really a key to move froward and for the better Philippines. Giving
them their outmost needs, materials and equipment is really the right things to do. It is a way of
acceptance that even you are blind, have mental retardation or anything, the right as a Filipino
child would not be less because they are also human too.

APPLY
Contact a SPED teacher. Ask for one important experience in dealing with a particular child with
special needs.

programs for these children that once in their
life was deprived in giving education because of
their differences. But these is their edge form
other students because they do believe that
differences are special and they deserved to
meet special needs and education, as a human
too.
I want to know more about the legal basis in the
Philippines and other countries. Comparing and
contrasting if they do practice an inclusion type
of education within these students or prefer
other type of curriculum with them that is
supported with facts.
