#Vocabno101🌋 Education is related to society, psychology, politics and thousands of different areas. Today, we are going to briefly talk about special educational needs (SENs). When discussing SENs, the first thing comes to your mind might be different impairments and disabilities like dyslexia (讀寫障礙), ADHD, intellectual (智力) disability, etc. Yet, why don’t you think that those who are gifted (天才) are also with SENs? Or do you think it is always nice to be gifted? Actually, from some research, it is common for the gifted to underachieve in areas they are not interested in. It will also be easier for them to encounter interpersonal (人際的) difficulties due to precocity (早熟) and great cognitive (認知) differences among their peers. Some may also be easily frustrated and angry. Therefore, it does not mean that teachers do not have to be worried about their gifted students, in fact, they may need to spend even more time on handling academic and psychological issues of the gifted. . And let’s talk about autism (自閉). Students with autism are usually discriminated (歧視) or bullied (欺淩) by their classmates when they fail to develop social relationships and experience language delay. However, you may all know Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) who is the mayor of Taipei since 2014 and was a famous doctor before that. He is smart and humorous with an IQ 157. Can you imagine that he was diagnosed (診斷) with Asperger Syndrome which is also a kind of Autism? . If you are willing to explore other kinds of SENs, you will find that they all have their remarkable and beautiful characteristics. As a teacher-to-be, instead of labelling children with different disabilities or needs, I choose to treat them as kids with different personalities. Just like you and me, we have our own strengths and weaknesses but you won’t label yourselves abnormal, right? From now on, if you know anyone with so-called SENs, can you try appreciating them, just like how you treat your friends? 🖋Education undergraduate, University of Hong Kong
