Imida Mihle: Into endiyifundileyo ekusebenzisaneni nabafundi abasaqala isikolo abaneAutism
Kwakuyiminyaka eyi-10 edlulileyo xa ndandiqala ukwamkela isithuba sam njenge-paraprofessional kwigumbi lokufundela kwisikolo sabasaqalayo kwinkqubo yesikolo saseCherry Creek. Ndandisazi ukuba ndiyakuthanda ukusebenza nabantwana, ingakumbi abo bangaphantsi kweminyaka emihlanu. Eli gumbi lokufundela lalimiselwe ukuba likhetheke kum, yayiligumbi lokufundela abantwana abaphakathi kweminyaka emibini ukuya kwemihlanu ubudala abafunyaniswa bene-autism okanye izimbo zokufunda ezifana ne-autism.
Ndandisandula ukushiya indawo yokusebenza eyayiyeyona tyhefu unokuyicinga. Impatho-gadalala ekhazimlisiweyo ukuze ibukeke njengokuncoma kunye nothando yayiyinto endandiyazi iminyaka ngaphambi kokuthatha umsebenzi wam njengepara ngo-2012. Ndandingazi ukuba ndihambahamba nge-PTSD engenakulinganiswa, kwaye ngokwenene ndandingenalo nofifi lwendlela yokunyamekela. mna ngendlela ephilileyo. Ndandiqonda ukuba ndiyayila kwaye ndiyadlala kwaye ndandikuthanda ukusebenza nabantwana.
Xa ndajonga kwigumbi lam elitsha lokufundela ngosuku lokuqala, ndabona ukuba ugqabhuko-dubulo lombala oqhelekileyo olwaludla ngokufika kwindawo yesikolo sabasaqalayo luye lwacinywa ngamazinki eplastiki ebotshelelwe kwiishelufu zamaplanga. Kwakungekho zipowusta zixhonywe eludongeni, yaye zonke ngaphandle kwekhaphethi engqukuva enye kumbindi ongaphambili wegumbi zazifumaneka kwimigangatho. Ndadibana neseshoni yethu yokuqala yabantwana, iintliziyo ezine ezincinci ezazingathethi. Aba bantwana, nangona ubukhulu becala babengakwazi ukunxibelelana ngendlela endandiqhele ukunxibelelana ngayo, babezaliswe zizinto abazithandayo nabanomdla. Ndibone indlela igumbi lokufundela elenzelwe ukudlala ngokuzolileyo nangokwangabom yayiyindlela yokuba aba bantwana bangaxakwa kakhulu ziindawo abahlala kuzo. Ukuvuselela kakhulu kunokukhokelela ekunyibilikeni, kuluvo lwehlabathi liphuma kwi-axis yalo kwaye ungaze ulunge kwakhona. Into endaqalayo ukuyiqonda, njengokuba iintsuku zajika zaba ziiveki, iiveki zajika zaba yiminyaka, ndandiyinqwenela ngamandla indawo ecwangcisiweyo nethe cwaka ukuze ibekho kum.
Ndakhe ndeva ngaphambili "ikhuliswe kwisiphithiphithi, iqonda isiphithiphithi kuphela.” Oku kwakuyinyaniso kum ngexesha lobomi bam xa ndandisebenza njengepara. Ndandiselula, ndisilwa nesiphelo esimanyumnyezi somtshato wabazali bam, nobukho obuguquguqukayo nobuyingozi kwiinzame zam zangaphambili zobungcali. Ubudlelwane bam nomfana wam buqhubele phambili umbhodamo endavuka, ndatya, ndalala. Ndandingenambono wobomi obungena drama kwaye ndandibonakala ngathi luthuli lokungazithembi nokungakwazi ukwenza izigqibo. Into endiyifumene kumsebenzi wam kwigumbi lokufundela elicwangcisiweyo yayikukuba ukuqikelelwa kweshedyuli kwandizisela intuthuzelo, kunye nabafundi bam. Ndifunde, koogxa bam kunye neengcali endisebenza nazo, ukuba kubalulekile ukwenza le nto uthi uza kuyenza, xa usithi uza kuyenza. Ndaye ndaqalisa ukuthenga kwinto yokuba abantu banokuba luncedo kwabanye ngaphandle kokulindela nantoni na. Zombini ezi ngcinga zazingaqhelekanga kum kodwa zandityhalela ekuqaleni kobomi obusempilweni.
Ngoxa ndandisebenza kwigumbi lokufundela, ndafunda ukuba imida ibalulekile, yaye ukufuna into oyifunayo asikokuzingca kodwa kuyimfuneko.
Abafundi bam, abaqhagamshelene ngokugqwesileyo nangomlingo, bandifundise ngaphezu kokuba bendinethemba lokuba ndibafundisile. Ngenxa yexesha lam kwigumbi lokufundela elilungiselelwe ucwangco, ukuqikelelwa, kunye nenyani, uqhagamshelo lokwenyani ndakwazi ukuhamba ngokwam kwindlela yokuphazamiseka ukuya ekunyanisekeni nakwimpilo. Ndityala kakhulu umlingiswa wam kwabo bangazange bakwazi ukubonisa ubunzulu babo ngendlela uluntu ngokubanzi oluqonda ngayo. Ngoku, abantwana endandisebenza nabo bakwisikolo samabanga aphakathi yaye benza izinto ezimangalisayo. Ndiyathemba ukuba wonke umntu odibana nabo ufunda indlela endenze ngayo, ukuba imida mihle, kwaye inkululeko inokufumaneka kuphela kwisiseko sokuqikelelwa.
