Heroes Team
Just like there is a G-team in football, Talentfabriek 053 has a Heroes team. Dancers with a mild intellectual disability (M.I.D.) are welcome here. At Talentfabriek 053, we are aware that an M.I.D. is not always visible on the outside of a child or young person. Additionally, the IQ of an M.I.D. child ranges from 55 to 85, and the child may have difficulty with social adaptation (Blik op hulp, 2013).
This class is taught by the owner of Talentfabriek 053, Sabina Mehic. Sabina has studied Social and Cultural Work (MBO) and Social Work and Services (HBO). During her HBO studies, she specialized in Youth Care in the last two years of her education. This has resulted in her being a professional youth care worker registered with SKJ. In addition to running a dance school and teaching, she also works on a care farm. There, she works with children who have various issues. She has extensive experience with various issues and levels of M.I.D. Her many years of teaching combined with her two degrees make her highly motivated and competent to teach this new class at Talentfabriek 053.
SOS Methodology At Talentfabriek 053, Sabina will work according to the SOS methodology. In short:
Understand: Children or young people with M.I.D. may understand things less quickly or well, and information processing may be more difficult (Blik op hulp, 2013). That’s why the G hip-hop lessons are less fast-paced and easier to follow for these dancers.
Remember: The memory of an M.I.D. child or young person may be less developed, so they need a lot of repetition and cannot process too much information at once (Blik op hulp, 2013). The G lessons include a lot of repetition, and we make sure we move forward only when the young person understands the material well.
Speak: The language use and vocabulary of children or young people with M.I.D. are often less extensive, making it more difficult for them to express themselves (Blik op hulp, 2013). At Talentfabriek 053, we take this into account by adjusting our language use to the level of the young people.
You can enroll via the registration form. Check the box for the G-team for the correct registration.
