Al Manar Modern School (AMS) launched a Learning Difficulties Center in partnership with nafda and the Learning Difficulties Professional Association (LDPA) to support students with diverse abilities, including those with ADHD, autism, and dyslexia. This initiative trained teachers in Differentiated Instruction and helped develop Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). This led to increased student performance and a shift towards greater acceptance of special needs within the community.
Key Outcomes:
- 50% of students, including those with learning difficulties, showed improved performance in national exams.
- 25 out of 45 students with special needs attended weekend therapy sessions.
- AMS now hosts 10 special education experts, fostering a more inclusive school environment.
- Bullying incidents have decreased, and there is growing parental acceptance of children’s special needs.
