An 11-year-old boy with autism has been waiting since the beginning of the year for an assistant to be found for him
An 11-year-old autistic boy, who is at home under the law of educating sick children at home, after failing to integrate into a school setting, has been without an assistant since the beginning of the school year. His mother says that she repeatedly appeals to the municipality in order to find a helper for her son who needs her so much, but the municipality does not provide her with any answers.
Very much in need of help
"Since September, my son has been sitting at home without a helper, and he needs a helper very much. I found him an assistant last year and happily they formed a good relationship. Those who know autistic children know that a good relationship with a new adult is not something they understand. They have already started the process of accepting her at the municipality, and after we were already told that she would be able to work with my son, they decided to refer her to an occupational doctor. At the same time, they also asked me to look for a new assistant (according to them, there is a shortage of personnel and they are trying to recruit)...
Don't ask for alms
According to the mother, the municipality, which is supposed to be the assistant's employer, is unable to find someone to fill the position. "At the moment I can't find an assistant and I really don't know what to do anymore. I haven't worked for a year, I just stay at home with my son, and I feel that no one in the municipality hears my and my son's plight. I'm not asking for handouts or help, just what my son deserves. All I want is for him to learn like other children. Why can't it be accepted?'
"My main difficulty is with the municipality. After I had already brought in an assistant, someone contacted my son, and after they had already put her through a process, which also took time and they gave her and me permission, that she is indeed suitable to work with my son, everything is delayed without any expectation of assistance. All inquiries including For special education, the CEO's office, personnel, public inquiries, the mayor and her deputy, remained unanswered and concretely addressed."
No response has yet been received from Haifa Municipality.
Of course it's not your fault, but the municipality's fault, but the problem is the salary and the parents have to fight for a benefit in the conditions of the assistants and understand that it starts from there, this is the minimum (I also combine) the work requires a lot of responsibility, patience and most of the teachers 'use' the personal assistants for their own needs as well so that it Looking after more than one child.
On a personal note, my greatest love is children on the continuum, I have been marrying a lovely child for two years but I know that I will not be able to continue next year because of the very low salary (about 3400 per month) and I am very sorry.
We need cooperation here between the parents and the special children and between the integrators in order to improve the conditions
Call me, I'm ready to volunteer temporarily for a child...I'm not working right now
But I have 15 years of experience with autism. I have no problem helping.
To our great regret, everyone who is abnormal receives this kind of treatment. My son with signs of autism was expelled from the Grand Canyon... the people have to accept the difference and the authorities will also take care of him, unfortunately the situation is bad
Why does it say suffering from autism? Why is it a disease?! It's a blessing not a disease
Of course it's not a curse, but it does involve suffering, as I suffer from attention problems, it's a medical problem that affects the quality of life, I'm not sure that saying I suffer from autism is the most correct, but I work with such children, they are angels, but in my eyes, this is not a blessing, neither for them nor for the parents, it poses difficulties endless
Sad to read these lines
and see the craziness of the educational system
Who like me understands your heart the most
And unfortunately two months of the whole holiday was not enough for them to find a helper for your son.
And all the financial savings are at the expense of your son
I suggest you pick up a glove and go to the media and shake the country, it is not possible for a girl to sit at home for about 4 months because of their negligence and saving on staff Shame and shame on the municipality of Haifa and the educational system
Ilan you would live next to me in Karmiel with such huge love I would do it even without cost good luck in the hope that the solution will be found soon
In my opinion, we need to hear the distress of the horror. It is a completely sacred thing.
shame
