Hey The judo club has its first special needs student starting tomorow She is 16 and her mum says 'physically perfect', but with some intelectual disability Any advice on intergration etc. I am not a coach, but administrator for the club, but I am keen where possible to keep the class unsegragated thanks
I think you'll have to see what her level of disability is first, and that will only become apparent with time and talking to her, observing her and talking to her parents. The Instructor will need to think hard about how they express themselves and how they communicate with this student, it may be a real test, plus balancing the need for inclusive training with the potential need for extra attention is difficult. Stick with it though, it can be very rewarding all ways round. Mitch
