The family as educator of the disabled. The responsibility for educating all children, including disabled, belongs to the family.
The constitution of the family is not only a biological or sociological fact. Beside that, the family as educator. Revelation shows us that family enrolls in the genealogy of the person as an image, a reflection of God. Therefore, if the family comes from the love of God, must also remain in this love, and this is the fundamental characteristic, the basis on which rests the whole family network.
For this reason, we can say that the main commitment of the partners in this work of educating the disabled child is to keep love alive in their conjugal life and to inculcate his children. The child in your family, you feel loved, wanted, valued for itself in its unique reality. We can say that the family as educator of disabled.
It is therefore necessary to take advantage of all the massive “human capital” of the family, society must contribute.
Parents should ensure that family life is rewarding for all members, by his example, his joy, his affability. Family to behave in a way that the qualities and defects of each of its members are known and accepted by everyone else.
Communication between partners is essential for their children. They learn and live in the personal dimension involved in communication between parents and communicating with each other with a naturalness that comes from the same naturalness of the filial relationship.
The family as educator gives the child a sense of security, teaches the concepts of good and evil, presents the value of their existence in the world, communicates the joy that comes of love given and received. It also corresponds to the family to teach the child the meaning of pain, suffering, physical limitations and poverty. This is the “code” anthropology of the family. Therefore, the family can not renounce this responsibility and should not allow other institutions, educators, administrators, health and social agents assume in the education of the disabled child.
