Yasmine is aiming high

In 2019, before the COVID19-Pandemic, Yasmine was enrolled in one of the Back to the Future centers. She used to attend classes and receive speech and occupational therapy sessions.  However, with the pandemic, we shifted to remote learning.

Yasmine started to receive the learning content through WhatsApp. For the first time, her parents started to get involved in teaching her academic skills, which was a bit  challenging for them. After that, Yasmine was ill and had to be hospitalized. Therefore, she  wasn't able to participate in the remote learning for few weeks.

When Yasmine recovered, a thorough follow-up was done with her mother in particular, because she's the one involved in implementing the activities, in order to guide her through the process of teaching her daughter.

Since then, and with the added value of the speech and language therapy sessions, Yasmine has shown remarkable improvement through  remote learning. Not only from a skills perspective, but also from a motivation perspective.

That's why Yasmine is not only a fighter, but also a child who aims high!

As per her mother, she recently expressed how glad she is to see “Yasmine showing  excitement when she receives a new video from her educator”. She keeps consulting both  the educator and the Inclusion officer to get guidance on how to implement an activity with  her child. Now that she knows that Yasmine is aiming high, she has become actively  engaged and when she receives the new materials, she would say "I am thinking of trying  this, what do you think?"

Yasmine like many other children identified with disabilities is receiving one to  one remote support from her Inclusion officer who is available to provide consultations and instructional adaptations to both the caregivers and the students' educators.
