<![CDATA[All About Schools With Good Support For Special Needs Kids]]>Hi there, my son is 5 this year and is diagnosed with sensory processing difficulties. He is currently receiving OT for this and is also receiving ST sessions to improve on his speech and language abilities.


He is in K1 this year and i am trying to find a school in the East when he goes to P1 in yr 2012. I am looking at Red Swastika in Bedok. Anybody knows whether the Allied Educators there is good? Or are there any schools in the East with good Allied Educators.

I am so worried that my son might not fit into mainstream school when he enters P1.

Anyone can advise.

Thks & rdgs,

I am planning to locate my kid in zee juniors due the need for intervention. May i know how is their mainstream preschool being carried out? Read various reviews (from both extreme) and am now in splithairs..Cheers.


Some parents think that Zee’s mainstream cirruculum does not adequately prepare their children for primary school. My friends to,d me that their kids have been exposed to number bonds, simple fractions, composition and comprehension in K2.
While Zee does teach additions, subtractions, composition and comprehension but these are at slower pace and simple worksheets.

It depends on what you want for your child. For me, I was alright with it, especially when my kid enjoyed school and the teachers are really caring.
I’m not in a hurry to put him off school and my decision was proven right when during his primary school orientation, the principal kept stressing on not sending kids to tuition because kids get rowdy and distracted in class when they have already learned the syllabus outside.

And in the 4 years, my son was there, they had the same team of teachers, low turnover rate as compared to his previous school, the teachers change every few months.
Zee also had the odd case of HFMD occasionally but never had to shut down as the school is quick to react. In his previous school, they shut down twice,each time for 2 weeks within 1 year.

Amy overall experience with Zee has been good, hence will recommend it if you like the more relax pacing.

Every primary schools already have AED, some only 1 AED and some more than 1 AEDs. Also talk to the AED to know more.

Would like to know the school fee of zee house and is there any transport for East region?
We r staying at Pasir ris.
School is full day? EIP plus integrated Kingdergarden?
Thanks for ur kind help.

Carebearz:
My son attended Zee Schoolhouse in the east area. They have another at Dunearn Road, I believe.They have EIP and School Readiness Programmes and also the mainstream classes. What I like about the school is as they have usual classes so my son could spend sometime integrating into mainstream.

Today, he is able to be integrated into K1 and he enjoys it. They still work with him and update me on his progress. Couldn't recommend the school enough.

Only thing is school fees are a killer.

So far, it's different. And parents are the ones who carry the burden, at least partially - and if for some reason - no judgments here - are unable to, it's the kids who pay. Sad.

worried_mum08:
Mummies, saw your posts. To be very honest with you, (i m a school teacher as well) , mainstream school has very limited resource to cope with children like ours. Every year the new P1s who comes in to school, will have about 3 -5 cases of special needs and the number is increasing by year. The AEDs and the counsellor cannot attend to each of them for long hours like in pre school or EIPIC centre.

However, i still believe that with strong family support, your child will be able to cope.
Especially that your child is a girl. According to my school counsellor, girls can recover / overcome this condition easier and faster than boys.

Just something to share: My son was diagnosed with ASD last year. We had no prior family history(from both sides) with children or any1 with this disorder. Relatives who do not understand looked at him in a ver different way. Could not follow all the instructions in the Childcare Centre that he attend. I was really upset and did not know how to cope at time. He throw tantrums also. Doctor refer him for therapy sessions and he was eventually referred to EIPIC at THK this February. Condition did not improve drastically. Until 3 months back, my SIL's friend recommended me to try out on Essential oil, and after 3 months , we (myself, SIL, BIL, and even my mum who is taking care of him) feels that his communication skills improve a lot. He is able to sit still for a longer period of time. This makes me certain that his condition can further improve if i persist. Any1 who is interested to try, can PM me. I can get my SIL to share more as she had been using the product for a longer period of time. Just to clarify, I am not earning anything. Its purely sharing. Y not give your child a chance to try. He/She may benefit.
Hi, I am interested to know more on the essential oil. can it also helps to reduce social anxiety?

vidvas:
Hi,

I am new to Singapore. I looked at the forum and was very happy to see many mum's like me. My child is 5 years old. He has overlapping symptoms of ADHD /ASD so will not fit exactly to any one of such categories. He is undergoing therapy sessions for the past 1.5 years and improving. As we have moved to Singapore only this week I am looking for school and therapy center for him. He has language delay and easily misses his attention. He was going to normal school in India but that does not help as the School did not know how to handle him!

Need your help in suggesting schools where he will be admitted. I being foreigner getting admission schools will be difficult as per MOE. Please suggest me schools (private schools as well is fine) and good therapy centers so that he can get help. I have already done quite good level of research through internet and contacting schools in parallel. It would be of great help from mom's who have feedback.

Thanks a ton.

Hi Vidvas,

I just sent you a private message with information on the preschool.

For this to work, you need a support school, teachers and psychologist and therapist who is dedicated. It’s a huge financial investment but we’ve seen the difference and we continue to support our 5 year old in his learning journey. If you need a recommendation do PM me.

I am currently in my second year of my Doctorate in Educational and Child Psychology course at the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom. I am conducting my thesis on parental experiences of the inclusion of their child in preschools, in England and Singapore.

I would like to invite you to participate in this study if:
1) You are a parent of a child who accesses additional educational support
2) Your child is between the ages of 3 years to 6 years 11 months, and
3) Your child is attending a formal educational setting.

If you participate in this study, you will be asked to fill out a questionnaire that will take around 10 to 15 minutes to complete. This will involve responding to some questions and you will be asked to provide ratings on your views on the statements.

You may be contacted to participate in a second part of the study if you indicate interest. Four participants will be asked to participate in a semi-structured interview to discuss further their views and experiences of inclusion. This will be scheduled to occur some time between July 2015 and September 2015, and will take place at a location that is conducive and accessible to you. The interview is expected to last around one hour.

If you would like to participate in this study, or would like more information, please contact me, Calista Chan, at cjchan1@sheffield.ac.uk. This project has been ethically approved by the university ethics review committee. All participants will be provided with a Participation Information Sheet and a Consent Form before participation, and all information collected during the course of the research will be kept strictly confidential.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Calista

We’re new to this forum and would like to introduce ourselves below.

Having served hundreds of students over two decades and helping them to acquire the academic strategies and skills necessary to reach their academic potential and develop the self-confidence to succeed, we are delighted to be in Singapore.

We believe in the promise and potential in each human life. We do not accept typecasting or generalizing that often occurs for children with learning differences. Our students are defined not by their learning challenges, but by their character, their accomplishments and their dreams.

Each student is loved and cherished as an individual with particular needs and unique gifts.

Dear all


can anyone please share your experience with hiring a shadow teacher? I just hired one for my boy in PCF K2. The support is good but I am stressed whenever I receive text message from the shadow teacher early in the morning telling me she is going to be absent that day. Due to small setup of the company I get the shadow teacher from, there will be no replacement. Can I ask if this is the 'market practice', ie no replacement if shadow teacher is absent that day? and can I also ask typically how long u use a shadow teacher for before deciding u can fade away with them?
Imo, pcf may not be conducive for your child. There are too many children in a class. Perhaps find a school with a smaller class size? Then even if there isn't a shadow teacher, it's not as bad.

I've not used a shadow teacher so can't offer any insights on how long it is needed.

In pri school, the FT requested for an AED to sit in during her periods (English and maths). The AED was a pushover though and couldn't manage my son that effectively. He only listened to the leader, ie the FT when he wants to.
