Last week we saw in class a documentary called “Cromosoma
5”. This documentary tells the story of a child, Andrea.
Andrea is a girl born premature, doctors attempted
that remained inside his mother, Lisa, because every minute was within best for
Andrea; after birth had to spend a month in the incubator. He was born with a
condition known as "chromosome 5" or "cri du chat". This
disorder is due to the lack of a part of chromosome 5 that produces some
features such as slanted eyes, she did not sit down Correctly, she had a
strange crying, she had slanted features, she could not express herself very
well and she did not talk a lot.
No parent is prepared to receive the news that their
son / daughter will be born with a psychomotor and mental retardation, and
Andrea's parents were no exception. But nevertheless, accepted her, wanted her,
tried to give all the best, sought their happiness ... She found it hard to
relate to others, but his parents were seeking all possible methods to help
communicate (games).
Andrea was receiving special education, she went for
three days to a special school and another two days to a school with other children.
This seems fantastic because a child with the type of disorder Andrea needs
special, monitoring and more individualized care, yet also is good to go to
other centers with more kids that can play, learn and go slowly linking.
No one is ready to hear the news that we will have a
close relative or a person with a disability. At first, the first thought that
comes to mind is that it will be a problem, it will be hard work ... But once
this first thought have to think much further. Such things can enrich you as a
person much culturally and sometimes these people can make you see the world differently,
can make you happier ... So we should not see it as a obtáculo but as a new
experience.
