    Important Points to Take into Consideration When Implementing This Guide

    Trainer

    In addition to the skill of dealing with children with disability (Visual, Hearing, Motor, or Mild Mental Disability) that the trainer needs, when attempting to present any kind of programs to them, it is important for the trainer to take the following points into consideration:

    • To be aware of the ways to deal with children with disability in primary school.

    • The trainer should read the supporting material including the booklets and educational material related to the workshop that can be downloaded from Be-Free website: www.befreepro.prg to have a deeper understanding of the concepts that the workshop is trying to convey.

    • The trainer need to be flexible and cheerful during the workshop and encourages all student to participate

    • Make sure not to comment on the students’ opinions during the workshop in any way that contains humiliation, scolding, or belittlement of them in any way (directly, indirectly, or implicitly). Moreover, the trainer shouldn’t allow students to comment on what another student’s answer in an offensive or inappropriate way either.

    • Try to keep the workshop's environment fun until the end, and work on encouraging self-confidence and respecting others throughout the workshop.

    Note: the trainer may be referred to as a female in this manual because females are mostly the ones that deal with this age group of children.

    Implementation of the workshops

    • It is preferred that the place where the workshop will be held is a spacious place so that students can move easily, with good ventilation, and lighting.

    • It is better if students are seated in a way that they can see each other, the trainer, and the front panel clearly. If that's not possible the students can be seated in a way that they can see the trainer and whatever the students or the trainer are presenting clearly.

    • It is preferred that the trainer determine the order of students’ participation before starting the exercise, so they can get ready. Example: starting with the participant from the right to left or the opposite.

    • Most of the exercises consists of activities, thus the trainer can give the students their work to take it with them home, or to hang it in class if possible.

    • During the exercises, it is important that the trainer makes sure that all the students understood what she is required during the explanation, or when they are engaged in the activity.

    • It is important that the trainer makes sure that the required materials of papers, pens, colors , etc, are enough for all the students.

    • Some of the activities need a board to hang the student's work on it, if not available, the trainer can use a rope and pins to hang their work, or students can stick it on the wall with any appropriate adhesive tape. This applies to any other materials used in the activities as well, if not available, the trainer can replace it with something similar that fits the purpose.

    Workshops’ Structure

    Training workshops consist of:

    1. Brief introduction about the objectives of the workshop and its concepts.
