‘Special Educational Needs’ is a term that refers to children with learning disabilities that make it harder for them to learn than most children of similar age. The spectrum of learning disabilities is very broad and complex.
Intellectual disability for instance inhibits an individual; from adaptive behavior, simple communication and from simple day to day tasks like washing hands among other things. There are various other types of disabilities ranging from the muscular/physical to the cognitive and to the emotional quotient of an individual. These conditions are mostly genetic in nature and require specific professional help, as they manifest in various forms and in varying degrees over varying periods of time.
Given this complexity, the Brainworks-Total-Taunggyi International group of schools has adopted a Special Needs Education Policy to ensure a safe and secure environment for all learners.
Purpose & Objectives
The Special Needs Education Policy is aimed towards the assistance of young learners with disabilities, the degree of which is manageable and within the reach of the school. Early interventions have been shown to improve the developmental outcome of a child with special needs. The school banks on any such opportunity that will assist the transition of a child with special needs into our mainstream educational service and thereby assist them in exploring their abilities to their full potential.
