Support to Students with Special Educational Needs

The school promotes student support with the following in mind; early identification, early intervention, Whole School Approach (WSA), home-school co-operation and cross-sector collaboration. We strive to build an inclusive and caring campus to support students with special educational needs.  The school provides these students with diversified support, specially catered learning program and homework to enhance students' learning effectiveness. The school attaches great importance to home-school cooperation and the establishment of a constant communication mechanism with parents through different channels to discuss strategies to support students. Support services include:

 

Early Identification and Intervention Programme for P.1 Students with Learning Difficulties —(EII Programme): Teachers will observe the learning performance and behaviour of Primary One (P.1) students during the first term of the school year and complete the Observation Checklist for Teachers (OCT) for students in need. The teachers and the school-based educational psychologist (EP) will identify the degree of learning difficulties of the relevant students according to the results of the OCT and their learning performance so that the school will provide the follow-up services.

 

Educational Psychology Service: Educational psychologists from the Education Bureau provide services to the school through regular visits. These services include; educational psychological assessments for students, a student support team to design individual support plans for students and parents, and to conduct professional development activities for teachers.

 

Speech Therapy Service: The school uses the Enhanced Speech Therapy Grant to purchase professional services of speech therapists. The speech therapists visit the school regularly to identify students with speech and language impairment, provide speech therapy and progress assessment to improve student’s speech and language skills. In addition, speech therapists conduct professional development activities for teachers and provide professional advice to parents regarding support strategies for home.

 

Subject Remedial Classes: In order to cater for learning differences, the school runs Chinese, English and Mathematics remedial classes for students with lower achievement or learning difficulties. These classes aim to target the students' learning weaknesses and provide a step-by-step learning approach to improve the outcomes.

In response to these needs the school purchases outside professional services which include; attention training, social skills training and emotional regulation training, etc., so that students can have appropriate group training.
