After the incident of an 8-year-old autistic child in Da Nang being beaten by a nanny at a facility, many parents with autistic, hyperactive children do not know how to choose the most secure school for their children. Tuoi Tre Online shares expert advice on this issue.
Research the center carefully to send your child.
Master Nguyen Xuan Viet - Center for Supporting the Development of Inclusive Education in Da Nang - said that when discovering that their child's development is abnormal compared to other children of the same age, parents should take their child to a mental hospital, rehabilitation hospital, or long-standing facilities for supporting special education for children under the Department of Education and Training for examination.
After examination, depending on the level, you can register your child for individual education at hospitals or centers.
Currently, doctors, teachers, people who have studied rehabilitation or social work in psychology, and even parents... can open centers for intervention and education of special children after completing a short-term certificate course and obtaining a certificate.
According to Mr. Viet, most of these centers are not directly under the Department of Education and Training, but are in the form of limited liability companies or under other associations and departments.
"When deciding to send their children to a facility, parents must first visit in person, learn about the educational program, facilities, expertise and qualifications of the teaching staff, and legal documents...
Please research carefully before sending your autistic or hyperactive child to any center, whether public or private," Master Viet recommends.

How to limit the risk of autistic children being abused?
Ms. Do Thi Do Quyen - Director of the Center for Supporting the Development of Inclusive Education in Da Nang - said that the professional qualifications of teachers of special education for children are the most important condition to ensure the maximum limitation of unfortunate incidents related to violence against autistic and hyperactive children.
A teacher who is properly trained in this field will not consider a child's unusual behavior as "bad" and thus lead to beating the child as in the unfortunate incident that just happened.
"When properly trained, teachers will recognize unusual manifestations of autistic and hyperactive children as special and have the right educational methods," said Ms. Quyen.
Ms. Quyen said that when a child is diagnosed with autism or hyperactivity, parents can choose to send their child to schools or facilities that have full licenses for special care and education activities and a team of teachers with professional qualifications.
