Our school emphasizes home-school cooperation and provides parents with a "Student Support Summary" every year and invites relevant parents to participate in ‘Individual Learning Plan’ meetings. Different school functional groups work closely to formulate support plans, curriculum and teaching adjustments, and special arrangements for examinations and assessments for students with special educational needs to cater for the learning needs of students with autism and dyslexia, and strengthens social and emotional management education. At the same time, our school's educational psychologist will also conduct cognitive or literacy assessments for students with special educational needs to arrange support or apply for special examination arrangements for the Diploma of Secondary Education Examination. Our school also introduces appropriate assistive devices, such as screen readers and speech-to-text software, to provide students with good training and learning opportunities and eliminate their learning barriers. Our school flexibly uses the Learning Support Grant and the Support Grant for Non-Chinese Speaking Students with Special Educational Needs to support students with different special learning needs, providing different types of after-school learning support classes, non-Chinese speaking learning support classes, life planning activities, social training groups, individual learning plans, individual painting class tutoring, music stress relief activities and so on. |
