1. The educational significance of "sending education to the door" for children with severe disabilities

(1) Giving equal educational rights to children with severe disabilities

Severely disabled children are unable to go to school due to physical, mental and other serious illnesses and disabilities. "Door-to-door education" can effectively solve the problem of "difficulty in entering school", allowing children with severe disabilities to receive the education they deserve even if they are unable to go to school. Equal education. As a novel teaching model, "home-based education" can not only solve the educational problems of some severely disabled children, but also alleviate the pressure on the educational environment and social barriers caused by disabled children.

(2) Cultivate the basic living and learning abilities of children with severe disabilities

"Home-based education" should adopt reasonable content, and after communicating with the children's families, plan the layout We guide children with severe disabilities to receive individualized education at all levels. The general teaching content includes training the life skills of children with severe disabilities, learning some basic cultural knowledge, physical rehabilitation, etc. Through these contents, children with severe disabilities can gradually learn to take care of themselves, learn, be grateful, slowly adapt to society, and finally integrate into society and contribute to society.

(3) Cultivate the self-confidence of children with severe disabilities

Whether a child is severely disabled due to external reasons or congenital reasons, disabled children are unable to move and study normally. Compared with ordinary people, children with severe disabilities have poorer psychological endurance. Some trivial things may cause low self-esteem, resistance, and rebellious psychology, and even affect the family and society. "Teaching to your doorstep" effectively guides severely disabled children through appropriate teaching methods and content to establish healthy psychological qualities in the learning process, cultivate self-confidence, and gain a sense of achievement and satisfaction in education, thereby maintaining a healthy and upward attitude. Positive psychological attitude.

2. Current problems with home-based education

(1) The attitudes of parents of children receiving education are polarized

Due to the physical and intellectual deficiencies of children with severe intellectual disabilities, They are often treated in a polarized manner in the family. They either receive "sympathy" and unprincipled "doting" from the family, and any unreasonable request will be granted; or they receive "discrimination" from the family, which considers them a drag. No matter which extreme attitude or two extreme attitudes exist at the same time, it will have a series of negative effects on the healthy growth of severely mentally retarded children. This will also bring many problems to home-based teaching. Such families They are often unable to assist in the development of door-to-door teaching activities, which greatly affects the effectiveness of door-to-door teaching.

(2) The teachers who send teachers lack innovation

The current teaching model of teachers in sending teachers to door-to-door teaching activities is still relatively simple, and the lack of innovation is the current restriction. A major problem in the promotion of door-to-door teaching activities is that on the one hand, the teaching content for children with severe intellectual disabilities lacks uniqueness and is still just traditional intelligence training materials. However, what children with severe intellectual disabilities need most is the cultivation of life skills and the expression and expression of emotions. control. Teachers who provide home-based teaching should start from the actual life of severely mentally retarded children and innovate content through specific life operations and the development of good habits to better promote the development of home-based teaching.

3. The specific practice of “delivering education to the door” of special education

(1) Improving teachers’ own abilities

The work of delivering education is a hard job. First, because this work is an addition to the teacher's normal workload, and second, because the subjects of education are all severely mentally retarded children, whose ability to receive education is extremely low, and the difficulty of educating them can be imagined. The ideological quality of sending teachers, whether the teachers have a love for special education and every child with special needs have a great relationship with whether they can complete special education work with high quality.

Improving teachers’ ideological quality has always been the foundation for the construction of teachers’ ethics, especially in the field of special education. In the construction of teacher-teacher ethics, the school must standardize the behavior of teaching, constantly emphasize the dedication to work, love for students, and regard the work of teaching as a noble mission. At the same time, we provide confidence education to teachers, believing that hard work will never fail those who are willing to do so. "Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to climb." Travelers often come, everything depends on human effort, and one day there will be rewards: the child's pronunciation is clear, and the child's stiff hands can The hair is bent, the child can sit up straight, the child has a cheerful personality... These are all our gains, and the growth of cultural knowledge must not be used as a criterion to judge whether the child has progressed.

(2) Master multi-faceted skills

Different children need different teaching content and different teaching methods for a relatively comprehensive education. Teachers need to become "all-rounders". Only with "one specialty and multiple abilities" can we meet the learning needs of students.

In school teaching, each teacher is often only good at teaching the subject he/she is responsible for, and has little or no involvement in other fields. In the process of teaching, he shows that he is unable to meet the needs of children. The phenomenon of inadequacy and helplessness. Improving teachers' ability to serve children with disabilities and improving the quality of education and teaching are the central tasks of special education schools.

The work of sending children to school is an important task at present and even for a long time to come. It is an important part of the work of special education schools. To carry out the teaching work well, in addition to the teachers' personal efforts, it also requires the guidance and support of the school. In addition to carrying out normal education and teaching work, the school also develops teachers' various abilities and promotes teachers' professional development by carrying out some meaningful activities. At the same time, teachers should actively participate in various types of training at all levels to broaden their horizons, improve their education and teaching capabilities and the quality of serving children with disabilities. Actively integrating medical education with education, recruiting rehabilitation professional teachers, and integrating medical care, rehabilitation, and education for children with disabilities in door-to-door education work are necessary and effective means to improve the overall level of education delivery work.

(3) Innovative development of online teaching models

Current information technology has been widely used in many aspects of our lives, and children with severe intellectual disabilities cannot go to school to receive education due to their own special reasons. In education, if information technology is linked to door-to-door teaching activities and more information technology is applied to door-to-door teaching activities, then door-to-door teaching activities can better optimize the teaching content and form, and then Finding the most suitable teaching method for children with severe intellectual disabilities can also improve the efficiency of home-based teaching to a certain extent and reduce unnecessary waste of manpower and material resources.

Teachers who send students to their homes can develop special learning videos for children with severe intellectual disabilities, and then communicate with children and parents through the Internet to understand the learning situation of children with severe intellectual disabilities and promptly carry out teaching content. Tweak and optimize.

In short, providing door-to-door education for children with disabilities is a work content and work form that is currently advocated by the education industry, and this work content and work form must be highly valued.
