Building Kids Up With Seguin RCA

By Janet Clark


When a person is born, there are certain things that they are expected to do, certain milestones that they are expected to reach. First, they are supposed to cry out, just to signal to parents and assorted onlookers that they are in fact alive and did not enter the world having already left it. Then they are supposed to grow up, mentally, physically and emotionally. Throughout this growing, a person is also expected to get educated, at least to a secondary if not an undergraduate level. After receiving that education, the expectation is that they are going to find gainful employment of some sort. During the course of that education and that employment, they are also supposed to find a romantic partner, preferably someone of the opposite gender although attitudes towards that are changing. With that romantic partner, society then expects them to procreate, purchase a home, and then grow old before eventually dying. But some individuals are going to have a much harder time on that journey. But Seguin RCA is around to even the odds.

Seguin retarded childrens association is a charitable entity. They have many programs to do their mission. That goal is to help.

The need for such an organization presented itself in the past. It used to be that to go a school, even a public school, a student has to pass an IQ test. But not everyone could do that. So those students were given their walking papers. But those kids did not come into the world by magic. No, they came into being because of their parents.

So those parents did something pretty radical. They pooled their money together. Using that pooled money, they were able to secure learning facilities, gather materials, and then hire instructors and educators. All because they wanted their mentally underdeveloped offspring to learn.

Their goal is singular. That is to provide some sense of normality to the developmentally disabled and their families. Oftentimes, the mentally handicapped are treated with bemused scorn and their families are given pity. But the organization seeks to offer them a slice of normality, to make them feel just like any other family no matter what extra burdens they may have to carry.

This purpose can be achieved through the use of learning programs. Now, kids with special needs will absorb and retain information differently, so the methods to give them that information will be a little different in order to account to those occasions.

Another thing that they do is the summer camp. Those are programs in which kids will leave home for weeks at a time. Now, some kids are going to have special needs. So a specialized summer camp gives them that option while also considering those special needs.

There is also a scholarship. Make no mistake about it, most scholarships are highly competitive. So those with certain conditions are never going to be able to win the vast majority of scholarships that are up for grabs. So there had to be one set aside for them, that way, at least a few special kids could have the same opportunity as other overachievers.

The road of living is not smooth. There are a number of potholes on that road. But there people out there who are going to try and fill as many of those potholes as humanly possible.
