SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS

The goal of Benford International School is to provide a safe learning environment that fosters the total development of every child who have challenges or disabilities that interfere with learning. We (SEN), provide support that’s not normally provided in general education programs from ages 3 – 14 years of age.

We tailor learning to address each child’s unique combination of needs. Adaptations are made to allow kids to meet age-appropriate educational goals.

We offer a wide range of approaches and services.

Which include smaller classes, individualized learning, one-on-one support, self-contained classrooms, resource rooms, and learning aids, Classroom monitoring and observation, Speech and Physical Therapy etc.

Every child in our care are entitled to an Individualized Education Program (IEP). The IEP spells out a child’s learning needs, services and how progress will be measured.

We support young people with a vast array of special educational needs and disabilities.
