MOVE ON MOTHER LANGUAGES!

Project on awareness about the situation of young people with a label of “special needs” which is still at a very mixed level in many different EU societies.

The term "special needs" describes a variety of situations that affect young people, which can include the following:
having one or more impairments EG visual or auditory;
being disabled (EG physically or learning disabled & Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI);
having mental health issues (EG depression or schizophrenia);
temporary disorders caused by stress - EG Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) & Traumatic Stress Disorder (TSD)
& other too - EG Cerebral Palsy (CP) & Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) & Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD)
having low incomes or no incomes;
being asylum seekers and or immigrants new to the EU (& those already established too);
having little or no access to formal education (& often informal education as well) due to family situation, social exclusion, specific special needs, historical factors, gender issues, etc.

Project that will also focus on:
Remedying the social inclusion of -
Arranging the adequate provision of support & resources for -
Encouraging and supporting the full engagement & the participation of -
- Learners & young people with special needs, who are often a marginalized & disadvantaged group.
Many ways of being (& some less than usual behaviors) which young with special needs may have, are often treated negatively by others in the general population.
This is usually caused by a lack of knowledge, empathy & understanding of youngsters with special needs. This lack of awareness causes a wide range of discrimination: EG in people’s actions, behaviour & attitude towards those who have special needs, often based on prejudice, which also blocks much constructive communication.
