"Favourtie" Idea

  • All children with disabilities should have someone to play with at break time - I truly believe that the buddy system works, as it leaves no room for exclusion and loneliness. Just having a companion during free time will encourage a better state of mind for the child. It will also definitely bring about a highly level of confidence for the child knowing he is not alone and left to his own devices.

I agree with this. A social bonding is likely to progress to academic association also. This will mean support in and out of class.

I agree with this, it fosters friendship among all children and boosts confidence in and out of the classroom

The Buddy System is a very good recommendation. I have seen it work to help build friendships.

I totally agree with you on the buddy system. It definitely enhances a sense of belonging with the child and it also serves as a way for children to become aware of the differently abled and their daily lives, in turn making it easier to accept them.

I totally agree with the buddy system, it works. If a normal person feels good to have at least one friend, imagine the joy our special students experience when there is someone who shows interest and care and is there for them.

I totally agree with your post: the buddy system. Sometimes some kids make friends so easily ,while some has a hard time. So with buddy system, each child has the opportunity to interact, socialize and play with another or even peer up with another group of students.

That is a true statement, it is easier for some children to make friends than others, coupled with a disability, then this becomes even more challenging. A buddy system can help to remove the challenge of  trying to make a new friend, so that is one less problem for a child with disabilities to have to deal with.
