Tech trip
So we are travelling this week through some central cities of Ecuador for special education technical training. It's exciting because I get to learn more about what a disability means to ecuadorians. So far, it has been interesting. On a positive note they are trying to incorporate inclusion because right now there are only general education schools and special education schools. They have a lot of laws but it is the putting into practice that is a little more difficult here. Also, I feel horrible because nothing is handicapped accessible here. Most buildings, buses, and houses can not be entered by certain people with disabilities. Hopefully, I will be able to help my community in what is best for them. There is tons to do, so I have options : )
