Health-related Impairment
Our dedication goes beyond basic support services. We are continually enhancing our programs to better serve our students. One such initiative is the provision of sign language training for both students and staff. This training equips our community with the skills needed to effectively communicate and assist students with hearing impairments, fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment.
By offering these tailored services and training programs, the Special Needs Education Unit ensures that all students receive the attention and support they need to succeed in their educational journey. We believe that every student, regardless of their abilities, deserves equal opportunities to achieve their full potential.
