The Social Development Officer of the Social Welfare Department of Twifo Atti-Morkwa District in the Central Region has called on teachers to be more friendly and compassionate to children with impairments whom they teach alongside the regular children in the various schools.
Madam Nana Yaa Anim acknowledged that handling such children can be very problematic, however, it is the responsibility of the teachers to treat them with a great deal of patience.
She also urged teachers to position children with visual and hearing impairments in the front role of the class for them to fully participate in the teaching and learning activities in the classroom.
In an interview with Skyy Power FM’s reporter, Listowel Aboagye, Miss Esther Nana Yaa Anim also encouraged all the People Living With Disabilities in the Twifo Atti-Morkwa District to come to the social welfare department and register their names and needs so that the department can also extend the necessary supports to them in due course.
District Chief Executive (DCE) of Twifo Atti-Morkwa District Hon. Robert Agyemang Nyantakyi also disclosed that the Twifo Atti-Morkwa district assembly will soon enrol People Living With Disabilities in the district into vocational training for them to live independently in their respective communities.
