Special Education Services
Pre-School Section

Pre-school section caters children with more academic potentials. This section is divided into three classes’ i.e Kelas Bunga Raya, Kelas Bunga Ros and Kelas Bunga Orkid.

The children are exposed to various activities and they are encouraged to learn through play and practical experience. Basic concepts of shapes, Colours and numbers are taught along with class room learning skills.

Kelas Bunga Ros
In this class more advanced activities and skills are carried out. Children are exposed to more academic tasks relating to writing, counting and reading.

Kelas Bunga Orkid
Subject teaching is introduced at this level, which includes Bahsa Malaysia, English, writing and mathematics. They are also encouraged to be independent through self-help care .children from this class will be promoted to school section after being trained at least for two years.
In these cases individualised education plan (IEP) is carried out to meet the needs of each child. Specific goals are set out for each child. Their abilities are graded in order to uplift their learning skills. Modifications on tables and chairs made as when and where the need arose. Visits to wet markets, super markets, parks and other places of interest help to increase the Children’s awareness of the environment around them.

   

School Section
The school section is divided into kelas Merah, Kelas Hijau, Kelas Biru and Kelas Kunning.
KelasMerah follows closely the regular school curriculum with modifications to suit individual needs. Pupils in this class will be potential UPSR candidates .Kelas Hijau, Kelas Biru and Kelas Kunning concentrates more on the practical aspects of learning that focuses on functional skills.
Besides the academic curriculum a variety of activities such as swimming, athletics ,gardening, music, cooking, creative craft and activities of daily living are planned to provide an integral part of basic training .’Lawatan Sambil Belajar’ would be an important agenda where pupils were taken to visit factories, recreational parks, wet markets and shopping complexes. Our pupils are truly enriched and established on such visits. During the year our pupils were invited for various parties and functions where they were able to mingle and interact with their able-bodied peers. This holistic approach would be a positive step to enable them to develop skills for integration into society in the future.
