| Do not underestimate
the abilities of people with intellectually disability.
These people may have sub-average general intellectual functioning.
Their IQ may be below 70 or even lower, that does not mean
they cannot learn how to speak in front of an audience.
They may take longer time to learn but they can learn.
Everyone of the ID people is different; some may have concurrent
disabilities like down syndrome, Williams Syndrome, Fragile
X Syndrome, Prader-Willi Syndrome or other behavioral symptoms
that may impair their functions.
However, from our experience in teaching these intellectually
disabled people, we find out that these people are just
like normal people, except we have to be impatient and understand
their behaviour.
Our Goals

To maximize the potential of these people |
|
To prepare these people to integrate with the mainstream
society |
|
To imbue in them the confidence in speaking with people
whether to one or to many |
|
To motivate them and prepare them for employment |
|
To build up their stamina to face the world |
|
|
|
THESE SPECIAL PEOPLE ARE BORN WITH CERTAIN
DISABILITY BUT DON'T LET THE DISABILITY HINDER THE
LIFE AND JOY OF GROWING UP.
GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO STAND ON THEIR FEET.
