Since 2016 we are developing a curriculum for children and youngsters with intellectual disabilities. We got financial help from The Province of East Flanders (Belgium).
In 2016 we studied on how to make a curriculum.
In 2017 we wrote down the core curriculum.
The curriculum for CwID is divided in 4 parts:
1. Self care;
2. Participation in family life;
3. Participation in community life;
4. Economic participation.
Some examples of each section:
-self care: toilet training; menstrual hygiene; eating habits; dress and appearance…
-participation in family life: respecting parents; cooking; cleaning; sexual education…
-participation in community life: expressing yourself; use of mobile phone; shopping; church attendance…
-economic participation: gardening; animal keeping; baking; flower shop…
In total more then 60 subjects!
For more details look in the brochure ‘Curriculum issues’ from WORK UG Training centre.

Broad curriculum for CwID
A broad curriculum is a curriculum targeting a specific group. We want to make a curriculum at project level (or school level) for children with mild, moderate and severe intellectual disabilities who are in primary and secondary school age.
The final work will be published as
Peeters Leon & Kiconco Marcey, True to life. Skilling children with intellectual disabilities.
File folder 'skilling children with intellectual disabilities'
'Great things are done by a series of small things that are brought together'

At the time the first modules of the curriculum for children with intellectual disabilities were ready, we decided to make a file folder to distribute them. Because it was not possible to find an advanced printing company in Kabale, we were looking for a partner in Kampala.

Jimmy Okwonga from AD Consult turned out to be the right partner. Jimmy organized the entire process from exploring what we needed to packing the folders. We worked together on the design, I had the opportunity to visit the company where they printed the folders and saw how others were cutting them.
