Inclusive Education



How a photographer in China fosters creativity in school children. 



 This is an article from China about a freelance photographer, Liu Yuyang, who was awarded the Magnum Foundation Human Rights Fellowship in 2014.


Liu set up a photography class for disabled children and able bodied children. He paired up each able bodied child with a physically challenged child.
They call this Inclusive Education.


Confidence was gained by all of the children.


Being that we have a big problem with bullying in the USA, I'm thinking that this kind of program could maybe teach our children to have empathy and compassion for their fellow students who are a little different. Learning about other people, their cultures, their struggles and everything that makes us humans different and unique would definitely cut down on bullying.
It's really getting our children to socialize outside of their comfort zone under the guise of a class.


The subject of the class could be anything. Painting, basketball, jump rope, chess. Anything the kids would be interested in learning about and participating in.


Understanding those who are different than us could start with our children.


Even though this is taking place in China, I think we could learn a lot from these children and their accomplishments.

              What Causes Scoliosis Among Babies? Congenital scoliosis is a rare form of scoliosis that is presented as a defect at birth.

A unilateral bar is when bones in your spine don't separate. Congenital scoliosis can also cause defects in other parts of the body, possibly leading to cardiac or other spinal abnormalities. It is vital for children with congenital scoliosis to get yearly screenings. It is also one of the hardest forms of scoliosis to diagnose.  It is often difficult to see any spinal imperfections until a child reaches the toddler age. Surgery might be necessary if the spinal curve worsens.  Some surgery options include in situ spinal fusion, Hemi-epiphysiodesis, veptr treatment, etc. Often, a brace or cast will not serve as a preventative measure for stopping curvuture growth.  Consulting wi
