Take it from  “Teacher Carla”.  House of Reps Personnel learn tips on assisting persons with disabilities, from this vibrant SPED teacher  ‘ón wheels’  Carla dela Cruz, cum laude BSEED graduate of Trinity University of Asia,  now a classroom teacher in Commonwealth Elementary School.  Shown on the right  receiving her certificate of appreciation from Ms. Gertrude Pabelona, President of the HOR’s “Empowering Persons with Disabilities, Inc.” and some Congress officials, Carla was a consistent scholar in college and an American Field Service (AFS) exchange student in Poolesville High School, Maryland in 2004-2005. S her clincher, she shared that a wheelchair-user  must be consulted first where he/she wants to go,  and not to be maneuvered  without consent, which was how they were treated for a long time.
