Our school has two major programs:
1- St. Luke's Program for children with
special needs:
This program is mainly for children with medium or mild
mental disabilities. Each child follows a daily individual program that suits
his/her needs and abilities. Each program includes social skills, spiritual nurturing,
educational development , music, and vocational skills.
We also have a special program for a limited number of
autistic children. They are gradually taught social skills that help them relate
to the outside world. They are encouraged to acquire personal discipline,
develop communication techniques, acquire better speech and expression. A
variety of methods is utilized, both in school and outside. Life skills are emphasized.
Tolerance, understanding, and love are utilized in parallel with limited step by
step objectives to bring about the happiness and gradual development of the
individual child.
Our programs are applied in full partnership with parents. A parent is required to attend
at least two full days with the child's teacher in order to observe, learn, and
reinforce the child's learning and development at home. Disciplinary action is
only taken in consultation with parents, after setting a clear objective
of what behavior is to be unlearnt, and what positive learning must replace the
negative behavior of the child.

ولد كسائر الأولاد: ندى بركات خواجه
واجهت المؤلفة ندى بركات خواجه، في العام 1991، وهي دون الثلاثين من العمر،
(عالم الاختلاف)، إذ انجبت إبنا وضعها إزاء مشكلة لم تتخيلها يوما وواكبتها
العمر كله. تصدت الأم بشجاعة كبيرة للموقف الجديد مترحلة من مستشفى إلى
آخر، ومن طبيب إلى آخر، ومن مدرسة إلى مدرسة، عابرة من النضال إلى البأس
ومن الصبر الجميل إلى سورة الغضب. ثم جاءت لحظة الشهادة فكتبت كتابها هذا
بأسلوب طلي ومتعة أدبية متوجهة إلى أهل الأولاد المختلفين وإلى المجتمع
بأسره كي يرى الولد قبل رؤية الإعاقة. |

This is Not About You By Maggy Larsen
Maggy reminds in a very loud voice that I cannot
change other people; any changes I can make to help my child and to help me
as a parent have to come within me. God's love is the answer for me - to
trust in the future, to believe in myself as a parent, and to find the truth
in His message. Friends, relatives, teachers, doctors won't change - I must
do the changing. I know I cannot do that alone; I must depend on God. (Carol
S.) |
