"Dong Dong is the first 'star child' to be employed in Shanghai, and has been working for more than ten years. I believe that it is necessary to continuously raise public awareness of this group, continue to pay attention to their status after employment, and build a social environment that can accommodate them. Dongdong's mother said.
"The school cooperates with the community charity supermarket to create diversified practical opportunities and help the 'star children' improve their social integration ability by establishing a cooperation framework, meeting with each other regularly, designing adaptive positions and providing on-site guidance, and carrying out community education activities. Putuo District People's Congress deputies suggested.
"Parents, schools and communities should pay attention to the career education of 'star children' and establish a social integration-oriented whole-career development education support system. Chen Lianjun, associate professor of the Department of Special Education of China Normal University, said.
On the eve of World Autism Day, on March 27, the whole process of people's democratic deliberations and the social integration activity of "Children of the Stars" in the community charity supermarket was launched. Special education experts, school representatives, two representatives and one committee member, representatives of the "two enterprises and three new" organizations, media observers, and parents of "star children" sat together to focus on the social integration issues that special groups such as "star children" are most concerned about, and used the community charity supermarket as a breakthrough to make suggestions for the social integration of special groups such as "star children".
In the past year, in order to help the "Star Children" and their families find a way out in the future, Zhenru Town Street relied on the "Charity Supermarket" brand project to invite "Star Youth" to serve as clerks of Zhenru Town Street Charity Supermarket, cultivate their life skills through work, and carry out social integration activities such as charity sales, fundraising, and community cultural festivals on a regular basis. So far, the Zhenruzhen Street Charity Supermarket has been in operation for 14 months, and has made useful explorations for the social integration of 8 "star youths".
How to give full play to the function of Zhenru Town Street Charity Supermarket as a platform for the practice of special groups, and find more practical solutions to the social integration problem of "star children"?
Parent representatives spoke
At the scene, many valuable opinions and suggestions were put forward by all parties. These include effectively integrating various policies, strengthening work linkage and information sharing, actively striving to mobilize social forces, combining comprehensive rehabilitation services and personalized support to help overcome social barriers, building a platform to expand awareness, creating diversified practice opportunities, and setting up community care spaces...... The participants said that they will continue to work the road of "promoting the integration of 'star children' into the general community", calling on more people to pay attention to and care for special groups such as "star children", so that social understanding, acceptance and care will become an important force for "star children" to continue to integrate into society.
However, to ensure that the "children of the stars" can integrate into society is a long-term lesson that requires patience and perseverance, and it is also a relay race that requires the participation of all sectors of society.
On the same day, the "True Star Wish" people's livelihood brand project was released. Among them, the "Mother Salon" project of Zhenru Community Education was launched, which will further improve the care and care services for special groups, promote the construction of an inclusive and barrier-free environment, and bring warmth and hope to the "children of the stars" and their families; the "Social Practice Point for Minors in Charity Culture" was unveiled, and continuously improve the attention and understanding of minors to the "children of the stars" by creating the first practice point; and the establishment of the "True Wishes of the Stars" volunteer service point will rely on the volunteer service forces of all walks of life to provide "children of the stars" in the streets of Zhenru Town Social inclusion provides stronger guarantees and support.
According to reports, the "True Star Wish" people's livelihood brand project will mobilize and integrate community resources, cover and radiate residents of all ages, build a "love map" of Zhenru Town Street through the dotted love force, explore the establishment of a "love escort + professional support + diversified cooperation" "Star Children" assistance system, and deeply lead and promote people from all walks of life to care for the "Star Children" group and family.
Yang Lianzhong, Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Zhenru Town Street, said that carrying out the whole process of people's democratic deliberations of "True as a Star Wish" is not only a care for the livelihood of special groups, but also a vivid practice of solidly promoting the construction of democracy. By gathering the strength of all parties and collecting public opinions, we will provide new ideas and directions for further optimizing public services. The launch of the "True Star Wish" people's livelihood brand project will bring more hope and warmth to special groups and provide more wisdom and strength for social governance.
