This
syndrome that appears in the video is sometimes regarded as a type of autism.
Although it can be also explained as a difficulty in social interaction,
repetition of behaviour and clumsiness, by the individual suffering from this
syndrome.
How we
could watch on the video children who suffer this syndrome use to be a bit
emotional and interest immature; disproportionate emotional reactions to
situations; They have an awareness that they are different, so often they have
feelings of misunderstanding and loneliness; they are often vulnerable to
suffer from depression, anxiety, stress and obsessiveness; in class they have
difficulties (slowness, adaptation problems, clumsiness to develop curricula,
lack of motivation, difficulty capturing the main idea of a text and select
relevant information).
On the
other hand the positive sides of these children are their strong values:
honesty, goodness and criticism of injustices; persistence in achieving their
goals and objectives; simple and naive personality.
Finished
identifying how these children are; both good and bad things, I am going to
explain what types of things I would do like teacher, to try to help them and
create a good environment for them.
The
first thing I would do is try to contact with the parents if they are not
conscience about the condition of the child.
With
regard the goals I would like to get, I would start working with the whole
class values like; tolerance and respect, for all different people and
especially (in the case of this topic) children with this syndrome. I would
work a lot the cooperative learning in class, because some of the descriptions
of the character of these children is that they do not feel accepted and are
solitary. If all children have to work together in different situations we are
avoiding loneliness at the same time everyone known best among them, promoting
trust and mutual respect. I would try to motivate these children to work with
the group, improve their self-esteem and facilitating the integration into the
group. As a solution to the academic problems I would give them some
advantages, including extra time to finish tasks, possibility of oral exams,
enhance the visual way of learning, closed questions on exams and tests
multiple responses, among others. I would give them all the explanations and
activities to do very clear to they can understand it right.
It
is also important try to motivate them to try extracurricular activities that
they like.
This
type of children can have low self esteem, so it is our work as teachers that
these children feel well with themselves, understanding their condition and
learning to know themselves well; the good and bad things about them. In spite
of these we have to focus in that they can see a positive and well picture
about themselves, and providing to them self- control strategies.
Finally
I think that is necessary that the teacher spend extra time in these children
to develop social and communication skills.
