As a Special Education volunteer, I am partnered with El Instituto de
Enseñanza de Niños Especiales. Founded in 1999, IDENE is a small school
for children with special needs in the northwestern region. The only school
of its kind in the province, IDENE serves children throughout the area with
a range of disabilities which include Down syndrome, Hearing Impairment,
Autism and general delays. Started by a group of parents with children
whose special needs required additional community-based attention, the
school currently serves 54 children and young adults with moderate to
severe educational impairments throughout the area.
My work includes relationships with the institute, families and surrounding
community. My current projects include developing materials, appropriate
teaching methods, and a deeper understanding of special education with the
staff at IDENE. I make home visits to students and their families on a
regular basis to help identify and assist in their progress during
non-school hours. In addition, the staff at IDENE and I are working on
developing consciousness-raising activities as well as opportunities for
children and adults with special needs for participation and employment
in the community.

I am a follow-up volunteer in my project, which means that I am finishing
what another volunteer before me started. I work with a new school for
students with special needs. The school was started in September 2006 and
has just started its second year. The students who come to school in the
morning have special needs of all types, but mostly Down syndrome and
Cognitive Delay. None of them have had any education in the public schools
because there are no Special Education programs offered, so this is the
first time that most of them have been in a regular school setting.
The afternoon session will be run as an after school help program for
children in the area that go to school in the morning and need extra
help in certain areas.
Because the school is new and it is not funded by the government,
it runs completely off of donations and fundraisers. There is some support
from the community and from the parents, but the idea is to get the school
regular funding so that it can operate properly. The school itself is
running fairly self-sufficiently with the help of its board of directors,
but it is in serious lack of materials and money to pay its teachers.
I will hopefully be able to help the school receive more funding for
salaries and materials for the school and for the students, as well
as help the teachers with development of the curriculum. I am also
hoping to start a group for sexual education in the community and some
sort of dental education seminar as side projects. I am also teaching
two English classes right now.
