[WATCH] Surviving the Shift: Distance learning and special needs

In our 4-part roundtable series, Surviving the Shift, we dive deep into the ins and outs of online distance learning.

In each episode, we focus on a specific stage of education. In the past weeks, we’ve featured the challenges that pre-school and elementary education have been facing now schools have opened.

This time around, host Michelle Aventajado, an educator and the executive director of Best Buddies Philippines, explores distance learning for kids with exceptionalities.

How have parents, therapists, teachers, and students been adapting? What should be the considerations in building an effective learning environment for students with special needs? How do you make blended and distance learning work to your advantage?

 Joining Michelle are the following panelists:

• Ericson Perez – Founder & Headmaster, One World School
• Dr. Jan Harold D. Sia, FPSDBP – Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrician, Makati Medical Center
