23 pairs of chromosomes make up our genetic code. If in block 21, in which two chromosomes should appear, we find three (Trisonomie of chromosome 21) are facing a case of Down syndrome. Syndrome, not disease. This is the theme espoused by Jesus and Manuel Maria, unknown, and appealing to me. This may seem a small thing has consequences such as mental retardation, physical characteristics such as short stature or ears usually flat cardiovascular problems and vision and a number of conditions, which, moreover, need not have. You should see what can be peculiar to the human body.
These people are covered by the legislation of our country, specifically in the law 39/2006, which promotes personal autonomy and care for dependent people. If we introduce in the educational field and we consider the LEA, within disability, supposedly curriculum tailored to the person but not the speech of Down in concrete, which greatly hinders development.
The truth is that as always we should not generalize and say that all those who suffer from this syndrome are marginalized, but speaking from the generality, we can indicate risk factors such as social isolation, high rate of illiteracy, the low rate of Down persons with secondary education and / or FP and satisfaction only in some of their needs.
tend to believe that these are children with a man's body when they really are people who are physically different features, or not, but have the same tastes that can have an adult (discos, sex, etc.) This is compounded by welfarism and overprotection
suffered by these people, by society in general and their families in particular, influenced by left the appearance of "poor." Appearance. Not unless you and me for it. One of the errors falling associations working with this group is their tendency to intervene between people with Down Syndrome "Down crafts workshop" for example. But the reality is not that, but every day these people who are isolated in these activities, day to day living with many people without the syndrome. Say it is not anything not suitable for these workshops, because certainly be rewarding, but do not promote or develop the integration of the individual or change the chip on the collective society with respect to Down. Given this situation should take the cards on the matter on social educator, an existing figure, but very few in number since the function is carried out by teachers or special education teachers, once again, we must take place in this profession and other professions that are knowledgeable about importance of our professional work.
then we put a video of the "ant", which is an interview with the winner of the Silver Shell, Pablo Pineda, later giving way to a very special surprise. Paul is the first European university graduate with Down syndrome. She's completing her teaching career and says he has not been easy road, but it has always been a fighter. He complains of excessive paternalism (Ladies who want to help you cross the street, despite having 35 years in a bar asked if you want water to drink etc.). That fear of screwing up that we have those who are not Down with that if you are involved in not knowing how to act. Therefore, we must not fall into stereotypes, but to develop an individual action, no welfare and based on a real integration.
And SORPRESÓN GO HERE! We were fortunate to be visited by a worker at the Educational Center "Link", aimed at people of this group, but the most special and fortunate thing is that four members of the same association were also with us. It seemed a unique opportunity to listen to a group that always has drawn special attention (I realize I've said this in other entries ...!) Allowing themselves to express themselves as best they wanted and throwing a question to which we answered, these four players were introduced and began to bring issues that fascinated me, because they who explained to us. Noted that it was hard to understand on many occasions by the same difficulty as they had to express themselves. Nerves, shyness and mental retardation together complicating the situation, but it was not a problem. The first time director stressed that all had mental retardation and that everyone needed specialist help. It was pretty sharply with that, as throughout his speech. A further underscored the fact that Pablo Pinera NOT represent the world of Down syndrome is more, his image did much damage to this group because you can not avoid suffering from mental retardation and their case is certainly a case exceptional. Many parents with children suffering from crush syndrome children to look like Paul, becoming the admiration of a problem.
Something that caught my attention much to my ignorance, is that some people with Down syndrome have not physical characteristics to which we are accustomed. Although at first glance this might seem like a lot for them is not because these characteristics are a recognition of the syndrome for a society that does not even know how to deal with, and largely unknown in his background, or not interested know, or think they know when in reality it is not it, who knows. The fact is that in one way or the other not treated properly and their overall situation is not the most optimal. Much more can be done. They told us that they hated their parents overprotection, in good faith, exercised over them. Situations like tearing at home rather than in the street or give them to eat whatever they want to sin a clear case of over-permissiveness, are everyday circumstances to which they are used daily. Referring to social relationships outside the family environment, these are very complicated because of the stigma that exist about them ... "girls just want me as a friend."
Its development depends greatly on the school where they are, but the truth is there is no agenda or teacher ready to meet people from this group, being absent for curriculum adaptation and one of the root causes of exclusion of those persons who need an aid to progress. But aid, or are self-sufficient to some situations, or are stupid and helpless. Let us find the difference and deal with adults. The more autonomy is achieved much better, but there are cases that can not be, period, no more, because the degree of the syndrome and also prevents it as soon as we know something to see and accept the better for the intervention to better align properly. Given this, we must take advantage of other qualities, empower and show alternatives. It is not given on his face against the wall. For example, their vocabulary is what it is, its recruitment and retention is also low, so the words that we turn should be simple and short. If we did otherwise we would understand and would produce not the burden on them. Van
four days a week to the practices of the association and another day with the director to see your progress. His philosophy is to advocate for culture, not to stop learning at each level: from language to knowledge of the environment.
you like to have a stable job to stop living with their parents, but in reality we find that the labor market is very low and the fabric is not very sensitive job. Although this situation arises, people are not aware of a series of monotonous tasks that can be played perfectly, as is the case public administration. We are dealing with people very friendly, punctual, hard working ... but the prejudice (damn) has to be the one that is: take away our jobs when in fact they are trained. Luckily this is not true, and so once again the bias must be broken. Add
I did not like the attitude of the school's director, as haughty and arrogant in some situations, cutting our guests when they were talking. I got the impression he wanted to take the lead at all times and I liked some of the comments said about them, undervalued in my opinion. In short, I liked her attitude.
A debate emerged in the class is the one that gives name to the title of my entry: normal, abnormal, different. Came different ideas about this, since they were different people and should be accepted as something natural without prejudice until they are normal people with a mental deficiency that leads to greater autonomy helps to achieve that they crave. The thing concluded that what comes out of the average normal is abnormal or different, but the important thing is what is behind and the rest is just a name. In my opinion, that name or label is causing a negative image as possible what difference does a minority and the minority is wrongly treated as inferior,
The presentation concluded with a video of the world upside down, where we saw some people with the syndrome works integrated the workforce as a fruit bowl or bus driver concerned. Some idyllic now beginning to be developed to inform society about this group as the main shortcoming I see on it's own ignorance that revolves around him.
