Le Desk Femme d’Actualité: Parents of children with disabilities, involved in school guidance
In our society, children with disabilities often face additional difficulties in accessing education adapted to their needs. In this article, we give the floor to parents who have chosen to invest in the educational guidance of their children with reduced mobility.
Bibiche Ilunga, mother of a teenage girl with epilepsy, says she chose not to send her daughter to school because of her frequent bouts of confusion. To ensure her autonomy, she wants to find a trainer who can teach her cutting and sewing. It thus underlines the importance of finding educational alternatives adapted to the specific needs of each child.
Sandrine Kanku, for her part, is the mother of an autistic child. She expresses her frustration with the high cost of schools adapted for people with disabilities, which limits access to quality education for her son. She appeals to the authorities to build adapted schools and to facilitate the inclusion of children with disabilities in the education system.
Despite these difficulties, Elisabeth Kanga believes that disability should not be an obstacle to a child’s educational path. She tells the story of her son who lost his leg to a fracture and aspires to become a journalist. Despite the obstacles he faces, notably the refusal of certain internship locations, she encourages the authorities and companies to create accessible spaces for people with disabilities.
These testimonies highlight the importance of including children with disabilities in the education system. It is essential to take into account their specific needs and offer them adapted educational opportunities. Parents play a crucial role in the educational guidance of their children, seeking solutions that allow them to develop their talents and flourish despite the challenges they face.
In a world where equal opportunities are essential, it is essential to put in place concrete measures to facilitate access to education for all. This involves building suitable schools, raising awareness among teachers and educational staff, and adequate financial support for families.
By actively supporting the educational guidance of children with disabilities, we contribute to creating a more inclusive society, where each individual has the opportunity to flourish and realize their full potential.
