Re: 讀寫障礙
Hi!
From my students (I met them 3 years ago in HK), the Canadian International School has teachers who are "truly nice" (where I was supposed to be the evil one  ). The school's central philosophy is to include & RESPECT people from all backgrounds, so people there are more sympathetic toward students who need extra help. Unfortunately, I don't know how they deal with students with special needs because my students were regular students. However, I do know that they send teachers to attend workshop for dyslexia regularly. You may want to call them and see! (Sorry that I can't help you much regarding this)
I am currently in Canada right now, and will be back to HK this sept. Canada actually has a better program than HK. It's assumed that every student will find at least a classmate with learning/physical difficulties throughout his/her elementary/highschool year. My cousin, grade 2, goes to the same classroom with a boy who is on wheelchair and another who is slightly mentally challenged. What happens is that the school board would usually assign an extra assistant to stay beside the boy for the whole day, and the boy would get special help fromt the assistant when needed.
When I was in highschool, I had a classmate who had eyesight problems, and every teacher was required to enlarge the worksheets 2-3 times so that the guy could read it. He finished his high school diploma, and eventually went to college. Even when I was at university, the school would hire students with good grades to take notes for those who have sight/hearing problems. (I once attended a class where a guy instantly translated the prof's speech into sign languages!!)
However, I guess students with ADD/ADHD receive more attention from the public school system than students with dyslexia, even though the province of British Columbia does have a strong background in researching dyslexia. Most of the time, students with dyslexia go to independent schools if the parents can afford it. In a small town near Vancouver, there's a school that helps dyslexic kids. Below is their official homepage. You may want to see their services provided. (It's just one of the more famous schools; there're several others, I believe)

We also have a Family Resource Center explaining all kinds of children who need help:

From this website, you'll see details of our IEP (Individualized Education Plan). It's required that
"All Students with special needs must have an IEP"
It's certainly true that we have more services in Canada;however, you have to remember that in return, we pay much higher taxes, and parents are often "expected" to work as volunteers if their children need extra help from the school.
I hope the information helps! If you want me to give any school a call and ask people questions, I am more than willing to do that for you.  |
