The article above discusses several cultural factors affecting special education services. For example, if parents believed that these were childhood needs and that their child would eventually outgrow it, no specialised intervention would be provided to the student. This subsequently impacts learning in the classroom as well as learning outcomes.
In this assignment, your task is to:
a. Identify another TWO cultural factors from the article.
b. Discuss how these two identified factors manifest themselves in the local Singaporean context. In your answer, compare how the manifestation of these factors would be similar or different between that described in the article (or in other societies) and the local context.
c. Examine how these two factors impact the learning process of a child with special education needs in the classroom, as well as their learning outcomes. Elaborate on your answer using specific examples, and suggest a unique solution to how each of these two challenges can be overcome, i.e. that is, one solution to each highlighted factor.
