We also adapt teaching methods to ensure equal access to education and promote independence for learners with visual impairments. Our goal is to empower all learners to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
Hearing impairments
We provide support such as sign language, for learners with hearing aids, and visual learning tools to accommodate each learner’s unique needs. By encouraging the use of inclusive communication strategies and creating opportunities for interaction, we ensure that learners with hearing impairments feel confident, supported, and engaged in all aspects of centre life.

Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how individuals communicate, interact socially, and process information. At our centre, we celebrate the diverse strengths and perspectives of learners with autism. We offer tailored support, such as structured routines, sensory-friendly spaces, and individualized learning plans, to meet their unique needs.
Diverse Disorders
Our center supports learners with a variety of syndromes, each presenting unique characteristics and challenges. These may include genetic conditions such as Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, or Fragile X syndrome, among others. We take a personalised approach to education, creating tailored learning plans and providing therapies or interventions as needed.
