In Moldova, children with severe disabilities are disadvantaged in terms of accessing mainstream education in their communities. This happens because of several reasons.
One reason is related to bad roads and poor physical conditions to reach the school.
Another reason is the lack of specialised equipment for children with severe disabilities and the fact that schools are insufficiently adapted to provide education for all children. Also, the lack of specialised transport buses which can ensure that children with the most complex needs are able to come to school is a major problem.
In some cases, the desire of the children and their families to access mainstream education is so big, that they try to find different ways to help the children go to school, which means an extra effort for them and practically this turns out into a real journey from home to school each day.
The Special Education Unit, with all its qualified staff, specialised equipment and adapted transport bus, will change this situation, aiming to meet the individual needs of the children with disabilities in accessing education and receiving additional support for their development. A specialised transport bus is very much needed, as it will make sure that children can come safely to school and then go back home, no matter if it’s raining or windy.
You can rarely see a specialised transport bus in Chisinau, the capital of Moldova, but such transport units have never crossed the roads between Moldovan villages, and it would be truly a miracle to bring one for the SEU.
This will be one of the most amazing gifts for the children with disabilities and their families. The specialised transport bus will certainly be bought from abroad, and this will be just another example of how the whole world can contribute to make the children’s dream come true.
