As a guiding light for the parents of special needs children here, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
The board member of Early Childhood Education of the National Teachers’ Guild, Yang, had been an educator for fifteen years, last year, he was assigned to work in the National Teacher’s Guild, to fight for more benefits for the educators. Having graduated from Special Education major, he’d selected to work in the early childhood sect, to help this group of special needs angels to have the good enough foundation they needed before school age; Yang also host4ed the annual seminars, to help the parents who felt helpless understand the future development possibilities of their own special needs children.
Yang said, that he’d experienced the preschool age, the elementary, the middle, high school years, the different stages, and, after seeing all the physically handicapped children, he’d felt, that during the early childhood years, there should be intervention programs that set in, that way, the children will improve quicker, and the parents will understand, when their young are still very young, what sort of an attitude to use to help the children grow up, that way, the parents and the children will have a positive outlook for their futures, and he’d shifted into the early childhood education sect.

Yang told, that as he’d visited the facilities, he saw the physically handicapped, with enough stamina, but due to lack of training of their muscles, they couldn’t eat, drink on their own, and they were mistreated by others. All of these left a deep impression with him, that the children with the physical handicaps definitely are in need of better education, that it can help make their futures brighter.
A lot of the parents of the handicapped children are worried over their futures, and moreover, they’re worried more about “will I need to take care of my children for life?” Yang hosted the seminar on the process of life for handicap children annually, and, invited the special needs educators who worked with children of various ages to attend, to help find the answers together through exchanges of opinions.
He said, if the handicapped child is quite capable, then, s/he can be trained as professionals too, that in the future, they may have a chance of working independently on their own; even for the severely and immensely handicapped, if they can acquire the most basic skills of being “taken care of”, this is a key, for them, to get sent to better facilities.
And so, this all started with how this man saw the unfulfilled needs of the handicapped children through his own schooling years, that motivated him to do something about it, and, he became an educator in the special needs department, and offered the parents with special needs children who are unsure of what they should do.
