Abstract

In this video, Karlien Spangenberg discusses how to develop group learning activities for children with severe to profound intellectual disability. She reiterates the importance of correctly grouping children together not based on their diagnosed disability, but rather on the basis of which learning stage (Awareness, Engagement, or Active Learning) that each child has reached. She discusses how to develop learning activities that address the different learning needs of the different learning stage groups, while remembering that each child will need individual support and attention as well. She then discusses some practical activities and learning activities that are targeted towards learners in the different learning stages. She closes with discussing how to manage classes with limited resources and facilitators to provide the best possible educational experience.
