Wearing inclusivity as a banner, the Special Education Students Association (SPEDSA) spearheaded an event with a theme “A Day with Special Ones” that aimed to make children with special needs feel a sense of belongingness at the President’s Hall, Nov. 17. “This event is a medium to show the students their value and importance, it is also an approach to show that they should not be seen and limited by their disability, but are equal in opportunity in every aspect especially in education,” SPEDSA President Jessie Jane Lumawag said. The event aimed to instill that this advocacy where students with special needs in the educational domain is being treated with equity
and equality which is vital to continually promote diversity and significance of a supportive environment. “This helps a lot especially for parents like me where our children aren’t exposed to outside world, this activity enable them to enjoy and let them feel the sense of belongingness. This approach also enhances our child’s physical, mental, and emotional quality,” one of the parents Milrey Rose Son Moyong said.
