As a curriculum and special education specialist I modified programmes to suit the needs of the learners as well as developed strategies to facilitate the curriculum for learners with barriers to learning and development.
I also advise and assisted educators in dealing with the learners. Individual education programmes and implementation strategies accompanied these programmes.
When I returned to South Africa I worked as a curriculum and special education consultant from 1995 until 2008 in Cape Town and Bloemfontein( Free State). In the Free State I worked at the Head Office assessed the needs of the district personnel. Subsequent to this, I advised the district personnel on processes to implement programmes after fully training them on their specific needs to deal with special education in the system. This included issues such as classroom organization, individual education programming, implementation of successful strategies, curriculum modification, the new role of the educator in inclusive education, assessment strategies, how to develop inclusive classrooms, etc.
