SPECIFIC LEARNING DIFFICULTIES INTERVENTION PROGRAMME

• Initial Screening & Diagnostic tests
• Individual sessions only
• Age range: 5 – 16 years

Intervention Method :

As there are many different facets to SpLD, at Sri Rafelsia a combination approach is used. These include diagnostic and prescriptive teaching procedures along side a combination of phonics and whole-word instruction. Phonological training is carried out in addition to visual training to facilitate structured, cumulative and sequential learning.

Explicit teaching is carried in the initial stages of intervention while a multisensory approach is employed through out the programme. All through our programme the focus is on independence in learning, as many children with SpLD tend to be highly dependant on others.

The first part of the training procedure is the administration of a range of assessments in order to obtain an objective means of measuring a student’s current abilities. This in turn will help us decide on the best way of helping your child. If we find it is not dyslexia, then we will tailor the programme to deal with only the problem areas and if necessary recommend other possible services, which will help your child. Within six weeks of the commencement of a programme, parents will be given a report based on our findings.

Younger children who have been identified before the age of 7 years will be enrolled at our half day provision, Tadika Rafelsia, in Shah Alam.
