如題，朋友個仔宜家讀local school P2，test result証實佢智力正常而且記憶力好好。但因呢個問題local scho ...
Would attending IS be a huge challenge for him?
IS would be teaching in English. The daily language used at school would be English.
So he will face the same issue with reading and writing.
Just that the problem is no long the issue of using Chinese language but English language.
The design of western curriculum (any western curriculum) is that, children would be asked to do lots of reading and writing.
They might not have to do that at home (i.e. little homework), but they have to read and write a lot at school.
Yes. Most IS will have some kind of support for special needs children.
But the support is usually simply some kind of remedial classes (like pulling out "weak" students for small group learning).
This only mean these children are allowed to learn at a slower pace. But there will probably be no genuine extra help that is tailored for dyslexic children.
I am not sure which IS do have special programs for dyslexic children.
The best thing is still calling each school by phone and ask.
I know some IS (e.g. ESF) allow special needs children to have a "shadow teacher" or "special teaching assistance" with them, at parents own cost (a few years back, the costs was already more than $10000 per month as the person will be with that particular child all the time at school in class and outside class).
So getting into IS might actually not a genuine solution for them.
More, it is very hard to get place in IS now once you missed the Year 1 intake.
In any case, like I said, ask your friend to call each school up and ask.
No harm asking.
At the same time, I suggest you friend investigate into whether there are local schools that have better support for students like this child.
I think I read it in EK//BK there are some local schools (not traditions local elite schools, but second tier regional schools) have very good support to special needs students (including dyslexic children).
This you need to really ask around.
Can the specialist that diagnosed the child as dyslexic have any information at all of which local school might be suitable?
