Special Needs unit set-up in mainstream school
Our special needs unit set-up in a mainstream school service is a specialized program designed to cater to the educational needs of students with disabilities. This program is aimed at providing an inclusive learning environment for students with special needs, where they can learn and grow alongside their peers.
The set-up of a special needs unit in a mainstream school involves several steps. Firstly, our team at HERizon Educational Consults works closely with the school administration to identify the need for such a program and assess the resources required to set it up. This may involve hiring additional staff, modifying existing facilities, and acquiring specialized equipment and materials.
Once the resources have been identified, we develop a comprehensive plan for the special needs unit. This plan includes details on the curriculum, teaching methods, assessment procedures, and support services that will be provided to students with disabilities.
The next step is to recruit qualified staff members who have experience working with students with special needs. These staff members may include teachers, aides, therapists, and other professionals who can provide specialized support to students with disabilities.
After the staff has been recruited, we ensure that they undergo specialized training to ensure that they are equipped with the knowledge and skills required to work effectively with students with disabilities. This training usually covers topics such as disability awareness, communication strategies, behavior management techniques, and assistive technology.
Once the special needs unit has been set up and staffed, we team of experts ensure that it is integrated into the wider school community. This may involve organizing joint activities and events with mainstream classes, promoting awareness of disability issues among students and staff, and providing opportunities for students with disabilities to participate in extracurricular activities.
