Special Education In Cebu - Update

I was searching for recent news, updates or anything new about Special Education in our local area. Unfortunately, and not quite unexpected, there are no news pertaining to the improvement of the Special Education system in our local scene at the present. I know. It is sad.

What made my day better though is when I accidently stumbled on the page Special Education Support Group Cebu Chapter. I have yet to research about the group, but their presence is enough to restore my enthusiasm about making Cebu a better place for children and people with special needs.

Sign Language: On Halt

Yes, I have decided to take a break from upgrading my skills in sign language communication. This does not mean though that I am stopping or even simply because I am tired. It is just that a more urgent task needs my attention. I am working on my SPED practicum with my friend, and classmate-since-college, Belle. She actually just got back from China, where she taught English in faraway towns in the said country.

Now that she is back, there is no stopping me from getting it on with the practicum. A huge thank goes to my boss for being very understanding about it all.

I know this is not going to be an easy feat. However, I am going to make it through. Hopefully, I would be able to touch a life or two along the way. That would definitely make the entire task more fulfilling. Aja!
