How did you spend your summer?
The
Skills Enhancement class of the Pre-Vocational Training has it’s first project
out! The assignment was a pictorial representation of where they went in their
summer vacations. This parent-child project was given as an opportunity for
parents to bond with their children and show the enthusiasm that they do with
their teachers. While their disabilities may slow them down in some ways, such
projects urge the parents to involve themselves in the education of their
children.
