WHY SHOULD SPECIAL KIDS NEED SOFTSKILL

GEORGE TOWN: Fearing the raging flames, an autistic boy hid in his room and was killed in the fire that gutted his home in Kampung Lombong Pasir, Teluk Bahang here yesterday.

The charred remains of Chai Sheng Chamnuai, 11, was found slumped in a bedroom of the single-storey house by firemen.

He was at home with his sister Jen Chit, 13, and a Vietnamese aunt when the fire broke out at about noon. The fire is believed to have started in the kitchen.

Jen Chit, who suffered minor burns on both arms, said she grabbed her brother by the hand after seeing the fire spread rapidly, but the boy put up a struggle.

“I had to leave the house as the flames were getting out of control. With the back door open, I thought he could still escape. But he chose to remain in there,” said a sobbing Jen Chit, who received outpatient treatment.

The devastated family said Chai Sheng, who attended a special school in Tanjung Bungah, had only started calling out to his parents.

His eldest sister Wan Nee, 23, who described Chai Sheng as physically normal, said the boy had begun to call out “Papa” and “Mama” recently.

“He also started taking bathing and eating on his own. We were all so elated over his progress. But God must certainly have had other plans for him,” she said.

It was a heart-wrenching sight at the scene when Wan Nee, who rushed home from her workplace at the Penang Sports Club, tried to console her parents who were sobbing uncontrollably.

Her father Chamnuai Sawin and mother Choo Siew Chin, both 46, said they could not come to terms with the sudden loss of their only son.

Wan Nee was overheard telling her mother not to blame herself, saying that it was God’s will.

Teluk Bahang Fire Station operations chief A. Manoharan said firemen arrived at the scene at 11.47am after receiving a distress call.

“We faced difficulty controlling the flames as the nearest fire hydrant was 800m away. We managed to control the fire in 30 minutes before we found the body,” he said, adding that the rescue operations involved more than 20 firemen and two fire engines.

State Legislative Assembly Speaker Datuk Abdul Halim Hussain presented RM300 from the Southwest Dis-trict Office to the family.

He said the state Welfare Department would also give RM500 each to the family and another family who lived in the same house.

PREVENTION OF SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN BULLYING

Bullying Prevention for Children with Special Health Care Needs

Having special health care needs due to neurological, developmental, physical, and mental health conditions can add to the challenges children and young people face as they learn to navigate social situations in school and in life. While bullying and cyber bullying is an unfortunate reality for many young people, children with special healthcare needs are at greater risk for being targeted by their peers.

One reason children and young adults with special health care needs might be at higher risk for bullying is lack of peer support. Having friends who are respected by peers can prevent and protect against bullying. Ninety-five percent of 6- to 21-year-old students with disabilities were served in public schools in 2013. However, children with special health care needs may have difficulty getting around the school, trouble communicating and navigating social interactions, or may show signs of vulnerability and emotional distress. These challenges can make them be perceived as different, and increase their risk of aggression from peers.

Young people with special needs may benefit from, both individualized and class-wide approaches to address the specific effects of their condition and prevent them from becoming the target or perpetrator of bullying. Teachers, school staff, and other students need to understand the specific impairments of a child’s health condition, so that they can develop strategies and supports to help them participate and succeed in class and with their peers.

Potential Perceived Differences

Children and youth with special needs are impacted by their conditions in a variety of ways. Every child is unique, and so are the ways that their health condition affects them. Some impairments, such as brain injuries or neurological conditions, can impact a child’s understanding of social interactions and they may not even know when they are being bullied. Here are a few ways that disabilities may affect children:

Children and youth with cerebral palsy, spina bifida, or other neurological or physical conditions can struggle with physical coordination and speech.
Brain injuries can impair speech, movement, comprehension, and cognitive abilities or any combination of these. A child or youth with a brain injury may have trouble with body movements, or speaking in a way that others can understand. It could take them longer to understand what is being said or to respond.
Children and young people with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and Tourette’s Syndrome may have difficulties with social interactions, sensitivities, impulsivity, and self-regulating their behavior or effectively communicating.
A child or young person who experiences anxiety or depression or who has a mental health condition may be withdrawn, quiet, fearful, anxious, or vulnerable. They may exhibit intense social awkwardness or have difficulty speaking.
Children who have epilepsy or behavioral disorders may exhibit erratic or unusual behavior that makes them stand out among their peers.

Supporting Special Needs and Preventing Bullying at School

Strategies to address student’s special needs at school can also help to prevent bullying and have positive outcomes for all students, especially tactics that use a team approach, foster peer relationships, and help students develop empathy. Some strategies include:

Engaging students in developing high-interest activities in which everyone has a role to play in designing, executing or participating in the activity.
Providing general up-front information to peers about the kinds of support children with special needs require, and have adults facilitate peer support.
Creating a buddy system for children with special needs.
Involving students in adaptive strategies in the classroom so that they participate in assisting and understanding the needs of others.
Conducting team-based learning activities and rotate student groupings.
Implementing social-emotional learning activities.
Rewarding positive, helpful, inclusive behavior.

Peer Support Makes a Difference

Here are a few examples of innovative strategies used by schools to promote peer-to-peer learning, foster relationships, and prevent bullying:

One high school created a weekly lunch program where student’s with and without special healthcare needs sat and ate lunch together. Several senior students led the group, and invited their friends to join. All kinds of students participated. The students got to know each other through question and answer periods and discussions over lunch. They discovered things they had in common and formed friendships. A group of them went to the prom together.
Youth at one school held a wheelchair soccer night. Students with special healthcare needs that used wheelchairs coached their peers in how to use and navigate the wheelchairs to play. The students helped another peer who used a wheelchair who was interested in photography by mounting a digital camera on her chair so she could be the game photographer.
Another school created a club rule that required clubs to rotate leadership responsibilities in club meetings so that every member had a chance to run the group. This allowed students with special health care needs to take on leadership roles.

Peer support is an important protective factor against bullying. By working together, teachers, parents and students can develop peer education, team-building, and leadership activities that foster friendships, build empathy, and prevent bullying to make schools safer and inclusive for all students, including children with special healthcare needs.
