Special Education
Special education refers to a range of services that help children with learning and other disabilities to learn. Special education is adapted to meet the needs of each child individually. At our centre a psychologist specializing in special education provides parallel support to elementary and high school students.
The sessions include detection and evaluation of learning difficulties, counseling, intervention programs, courses specially designed for the learning needs of the students as well as creative work with the aim of strengthening academic and communication skills for students with:
- Dyslexia
- Spelling disability
- Dyscalculia
- Pervasive developmental disorders such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorders etc
- Mental Retardation
The teaching provided is in the form of scaffolding. It aims to achieve a small goal at a time. Through this method, the results are immediate and more visible, helping on the one hand to eliminate the learning difficulties and on the other hand to reinforce the learning of the child.
