SPECIAL EDUCATION NEEDS

KIIT-IS Library committed to supporting students with disabilities or Special Educational Needs (SEN) in overcoming barriers and achieving successful through our resources.
​
Home and school are two pillars that support students with special educational needs (SEN). The third is community support. If the community is providing children with suitable support and services, this triangle of support –home, school and community – will be achieved, and SEN children will benefit the most.
 
Parents must bear in mind that Rome wasn’t built in a day. Hard work and perseverance are a must. On top of letting their SEN children receive the training and attend the classes of our professionals with library online resources, parents should also accompany their kids and consolidate what they have learned by practicing the new skills constantly at home.

More over that, our school believes in the principles of Inclusive Education and achieved great results by identifying these needs and introducing appropriate modifications in school policy, structure, and curriculum to suit the needs of the students whose pattern of learning is different.
