Sped Life with ToshMahal

As a SpEd teacher for more than 27 years, I would like to share my knowledge and provide awareness of the different disabilities among children.

Also share useful information and connect with parents, teachers and our community. Sharing is Caring!

Kung may high functioning na Autism may Low functioning autism ba? Sa ngayon, hindi na gaanong ginagamit ng mga professionals ang terms na “high functioning” at “low functioning” dahil medyo nakakalito at minsan hindi nito naipapakita ang buong kakayahan ng bata.

Sa halip, ginagamit na po ang levels of support sa autism spectrum:

🔹 Level 1 (Needs support) – Nakakapagsalita at nakaka-function sa maraming sitwasyon pero kailangan pa rin ng gabay sa social skills, communication, o behavior.
🔹 Level 2 (Needs substantial support) – Mas nangangailangan ng tulong sa communication, routines, at pag-adapt sa pagbabago.
🔹 Level 3 (Needs very substantial support) – Kailangan ng mas intensive at consistent na suporta sa araw-araw na gawain at communication.

💡 Kaya po, oo—may mga batang mas independent (“dating tinatawag na high functioning”) at may mga batang mas nangangailangan ng suporta (“dating low functioning”), pero mahalaga pong tandaan na:

🔹 Ang bawat batang nasa spectrum ay iba-iba ang lakas at pangangailangan.
🔹 Pwedeng magaling sa isang area (hal. memory o academics) pero nahihirapan sa iba (hal. social skills o daily living).

Ang mas mahalaga po ay kung ano ang kailangan ng bata para matulungan siyang magtagumpay, hindi kung anong label ang ibibigay. Sped Life with ToshMahal Tosh Mahal Nikky, the Little Artist

Help them raise a village! Your love, kindness, understanding and support can make it possible! April is Autism Awareness Tosh Mahal

03/04/2026

“They say it takes a village to raise a child—but for my autistic child, I became the village. Strong, patient, and unwavering.”

“Autism doesn’t come with a village for everyone—so I built one with love, resilience, and endless advocacy.”

“I am the teacher, the therapist, the advocate, the safe place—I am my child’s village.”

“Autism awareness is not just understanding the child—it’s honoring the strength of the one who stands as their village every single day.”

Sabi nila kailangan ng village… pero sa autism journey, ako ang naging buong village—para sa anak ko. 💖
Salute to all ausome parents! ”
