MINISTERING TO CHILDREN AND FAMILIES WITH SPECIAL NEEDS.

WHAT IS SPECIAL NEEDS?
Simply put- children or adult with additional needs- having any form of disability.

It can be physical, emotional, intellectual, cognitive or any form.

Churches, Mosques, schools, and the society at large have neglected and forgotten these group of people: children and adults with special needs.

We have failed God in this area.

It’s my prayer that your burden and zeal for reaching these precious young people will blossom as you read this.

Whether you agree or not, The number of children and adults with special needs is rising daily.

These needs may include physical, emotional, or cognitive.
Some needs are obvious, while others may not be.

Parents have shared their stories of heartache. Unfortunately, some of these encounters were even more in the churches.

Our churches should be a place of succor and encouragement for these ones BUT no, it’s become a place of condemnation and heartache for them.

Some see special needs as a deliverance case; very good point - BUT it is at mount Zion(church) that deliverance will come for them.

But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. Obadiah 1:17

I am sure, if we begin to look at your vision and mission statement, they are inclusive- inclusive I mean, you want to serve and cater for all- so why shut the door against children and adults with special needs and their parents- are they not part of the ALL you want to serve and cater for?

In some churches, it is a faith issue- No children church for them, we will only pray for them, who told you that have not prayed?

Let’s look at some scriptures to buttress my points.

Psalm 127:3-5 KJV: Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them. — Mark 10:13-16

Ezekiel 18:4 KJV: Behold, all souls are mine.

Psalm 24:1 KJV: The earth is the Lord‘s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

Isaiah 54:13 KJV: And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

Ephesians 6:4
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

How to minister to them in our churches:

1. Become lifelong learner of their family:
The parents and siblings of these children or adults with special needs know their needs better than anyone else.
2. Proper understanding of the needs- Read books on special needs, attend trainings and seminar on the said subject. Let it become part of your CPD as church or ministry.
3. Ascertain the level of severity of the needs- assessment( this can be done by a group of professionals-Occupational therapists, physiotherapists, Speech therapists, Special educators, psychologists, counselors and so on.
4. Draw conclusion with the team on the way forward for the child.
5. Draw out an ISP(IEP and IBP)
6. Be in tune with the Holy Spirit of God.
7. Pray constantly for them.
8. Be strategic in your approach.
9. Make their learning tangible and real.
10. Make their instructions as simple as possible.
11. Use the scripture to address them.
12. Be patient with them.
13. Be welcoming. Don’t reject them.
14. Don’t talk down on them.
15. Don’t compare them with other neuro typical Children.
16. Celebrate their little milestones.
17. Understand that every child is unique and treat them so.

STILL IN THE MOOD OF CELEBRATING OUR CP WARRIORS

It's *World Cerebral Palsy Day yesterday.

*Theme: Millions Of Reasons*

WE CELEBRATE ALL OUR CP WARRIORS AND THEIR FAMILIES.

Although cerebral palsy is the most common motor disability in children – more than 17 million people across the world live with CP.

Most people are ignorany about the condition and have little knowledge about how to interact with children and adults living with disability.

While the goal of this day is to promote awareness, understanding, and inclusion, a larger hope is that it will inspire more funding for researchers to find better treatment and intervention methods.

While progress is still needed, life for those with cerebral palsy needs to improve over the years and that is why we need to celebrate World Cerebral Palsy Day.

We celebrate today to create awareness, some people do not know about CP yet.
People need to know the possible risk factors to this condition and ways to prevent it.

It is also an avenue to educate people on the challenges people with CP are facing and ways to help them.

World CP Day aims to celebrate the lives of those who are affected by cerebral palsy, create powerful voices for them, become a catalyst for solutions and social change, and create tangible actions and outcomes that will help improve their lives for the better.

It is also celebrated to make them feel important in the society.

Inclusion is very important and as NO child should be left out; if there is a day for other things there should be a day to celebrate CP and this celebration should cut across all spheres of life, In schools, social gatherings, public places and religious spheres to make the society conducive for people living with CP.

The need for a cure for CP has become inevitable. We need to push for a cure and awareness that we have a duty as a society to protect, care and help them live a life of function.

The celrbration of World CP day also aims to educate those outside the CP community about the condition, to make a difference in the way prople interact with peoole with disability, to oraganise fund raisers and donate to a research to increase our knowlegde to find a cure.

You have a duty as a member of the society to show peoole with disability that they are loved, they are important and a part of the society.

Today, encourage someone with disability, pray for them, play with them, meet an area of their need!

Thank you

It’s world DOWN SYNDROME day.

March 21.

We celebrate all our children living with Down syndrome.

WHAT IS DOWN SYNDROME?

Down syndrome is a congenital disorder arising from a chromosome defect, causing intellectual impairment and physical abnormalities including short stature and a broad facial profile. It arises from a defect involving chromosome 21, usually an extra copy (trisomy-21).

TYPES OF DOWN SYNDROME
There are three types of Down syndrome:
Trisomy 21 (nondisjunction)
Translocation
and mosaicism.

Trisomy 21, the most common type of Down syndrome, occurs when there are three, rather than two, number 21 chromosomes present in every cell of the body. Instead of the usual 46 chromosomes, a person with Down syndrome has 47.
It is this additional genetic material that alters the course of development and causes the characteristics associated with the syndrome.
Trisomy 21 accounts for 95% of cases.

Translocation accounts for 4% of all cases of Down syndrome.
In translocation, part of chromosome 21 breaks off during cell division and attaches to another chromosome, typically chromosome 14. While the total number of chromosomes in the cells remain 46, the presence of an extra part of chromosome 21 causes the characteristics of Down syndrome.

Mosaicism occurs when nondisjunction of chromosome 21 takes place in one – but not all – of the initial cell divisions after fertilization.When this occurs, there is a mixture of two types of cells, some containing the usual 46 chromosomes and others containing 47. Mosaicism accounts for about 1% of all cases of Down syndrome.

HOW DOWN SYNDROME AFFECTS A PERSON

Down syndrome can affect a person's cognitive ability and physical growth, cause mild to moderate developmental issues, and present a higher risk of some health problems.

Can someone with Down syndrome have normal intelligence?

The average IQ of a young adult with Down syndrome is 50, equivalent to the mental ability of an 8- or 9-year-old child, but this can vary widely.
The parents of the affected individual are usually genetically normal. The probability increases from less than 0.1% in 20-year-old mothers to 3% in those of age 45.

The most common mental health concerns include: general anxiety, repetitive and obsessive-compulsive behaviors; oppositional, impulsive, and inattentive behaviors; sleep related difficulties; depression; autism spectrum conditions; and neuropsychological problems characterized by progressive loss of cognitive skills.

Down Syndrome Learning Difficulties
* Hearing and vision weakness.
* Fine motor skill impairment due to low muscle tone.
* Weak auditory memory.
* Short attention span and distractibility.
* Sequencing difficulties

Treatment consists of therapy and self care
Early intervention programmes with a team of therapists and special educators who can treat each child's specific situation are helpful in managing Down's syndrome.

Down syndrome is NOT contagious as many think.

LET’S TALK TONGUE TIE IN CHILDREN.

Tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) is a condition in which an unusually short, thick or tight band of tissue (lingual frenulum) tethers the bottom of the tongue's tip to the floor of the mouth.

If necessary, tongue-tie can be treated with a surgical cut to release the frenulum (frenotomy).May 15, 2018

In simple language, Tongue tie (ankyloglossia) is a problem with the tongue.

It’s usually present from birth in some children.

It causes speech and eating problems in some children.

Tongue tie in children manifest in different ways.

It may not affect a child's ability to learn speech, but it may cause issues with articulation or the way the word is pronounced.

CAUSES OF TONGUE TIE
What causes tongue-tie?
The tongue and the floor of the mouth fuse together when an embryo is growing in the womb.

Over time, the tongue separates from the floor of the mouth.

Eventually, only a thin cord of tissue (the frenulum, or lingual frenulum) connects the bottom of the tongue to the mouth floor. Oct 10, 2018

SYMPTOMS OF TONGUE TIE
Tongue-tie may cause the following symptoms in infants:
* Difficulty latching when breastfeeding
* Breastfeeding for extended periods of time
* Constant hunger
* Trouble gaining weight
* A clicking sound while the child is feeding

In young children, tongue-tie symptoms may include:
* Speech impairments
* Swallowing difficulties
* Difficulty moving the tongue toward the roof of the mouth or from side to side
* Difficulty licking ice cream
* Difficulty playing a wind instrument
* Problems sticking the tongue out
* Difficulty kissing

Treatment can be a simple surgical procedure.

Dearest parents and guardians, if you notice any of these in your child(ren), see your child's paediatrician for proper evaluation and treatment.

A speech therapist can also be of great help.
