Do not exploit me!

People with intellectual disabilities are exploited: They are doing fatiguing jobs but they are not well paid and they are given even drugs. Other people say: They do not know the value of money. Parents of children with intellectual disabilities composed a song ( Birica) against drug usage ( hear it in audio window).

Teachers said that they hear about intellectual disabilities, but they do not understand how a child with intellectual disability can study like and with others. From this notice, Disability Inclusion Rwanda engaged its little means to train parents, teachers, local leaders and Health social workers on inclusive education, CRPD, family supports and intellectual disabilities.

Train teachers on intellectual disabilities and inclusive education

When we talk about inclusive education it is often understood to include persons with other forms of disabilities apart from intellectual disabilities in mainstream schools; as well as it is believed by many that students with intellectual disabilities are not able to learn in the same conditions like others. Therefore, trainings on intellectual disabilities and inclusive education have to be provided to teachers and school leaders to improve the quality of services they offer to every learner.
