ما هو جوابنا على من يقول دمج فئة متلازمة داون غير مجدي؟

هناك البعض يدعي بأن دمج فئة متلازمة داون في المدارس الحكومية غير مجدي، ويدعي بأن هناك الكثير من الدراسات تثبت ذلك، وعندما نسمع هذا الكلام من شخص متعلم أو ربما يكون أخصائي تربية خاصة .. نقع في حيرة من أمرنا. أرجو من الجمعية البحرينية لمتلازمة داون أن تبين لنا رأيها في هذه القضية وكيف يمكننا مجادلتهم ، وتذكروا لنا بعض المراجع والدراسات التي تؤيد هذا الدمج؟ المرسل : نادية/ 27 سبتمبر ‏2002‏‏

أشكرك يا أخت نادية على إثارة هذا الموضوع الحيوي، وللأسف هناك الكثير من الأخصائيين وخصوصا ممن عاش مرحلة تعليم وتدريب المعاق في عزلة تامة عن المجتمع .. هذه الفئة من الناس لا تريد أن تقتنع بأن الدمج هو الحل الأمثل لتنمية قدرات هذه الفئة. ترى لو وقف لحظة مع نفسه وسألها هذا السؤال: ماذا قدمنا للمعاق خلال العقود الثلاثة الماضية ؟ الجواب طبعا لا شيء. فلا يوجد جيل متعلم أو ذو منفعة لمجتمعة، بل تجد جميع تلك الأجيال السابقة كانت عالة على مجتمعاتها والقليل منهم وبمجهودات أولياء الأمور استطاعوا الاعتماد على نفسه في بعض الأمور البسيطة. فلماذا يصر البعض على الاستمرار في عزل هذه الفئة في وجود مئات الدراسات التي تؤيد هذا الدمج. ومن يقول غير ذلك عليه أن يأتي بتلك الدراسات التي تؤيد وجهة نظره .. وإذا ما وجد بعضها فإنك ستجدها دراسات تنقصها الدقة العلمية .. ومهما حاول فإنني على يقين بأنه سيفشل في إثبات وجهة نظره وخصوصا بعد أن نقدم له نحن ما يؤيد وجهة نظرنا. اليوم أضع أمامكم عشرات المصادر يمكنكم الاستعانة بها في دحر حجة من يقول بأن الدمج غير مجدي.
