Her experience covers teaching, assessing and supporting children with special needs and providing expert advice to the schools on child development, special needs and behavior. Over the last two years since her return to Malaysia, Cheng Yi works as consultant providing specialist advice to parents and teachers. She also lectures part-time in the Department of Psychology at Help University. Cheng Yi is passionate about advocating the needs of children with special needs and supporting the inclusion process in school. This workshop aims to introduce preschool teachers and helpers to inclusive teaching practices. This would be achieved through examining the ABC of inclusion: A: Anxiety and Attitudes: The talk will address the common anxieties teachers’ face, when a child with special needs enters their setting and examines common attitudes towards special children. B: Behind the Scene: Providing a safe, warm and welcoming environment for children involves appropriate planning behind the scene. How do you make sure your setting is inclusive? C: Carrying it Out: With everything in place, how does a teacher go about making inclusion work on a day to day basis. This talk is organised by BOLD Penang and Asia Community Service.
