We require the pupils whose Parents and/or Guardians are interested in availing any of our programmes & services to have an INITIAL ASSESSMENT with our SPED Program Coordinator. This is needed for

an Individualized Education Program (IEP) to be developed for pupils with disabilities. IEP ensures their educational goals are achieved. It is a required step in the process of receiving special education services.

A pupil's parents, teachers, and other service providers meet to come to a consensus about the educational accommodations necessary to assist the student in meeting the objectives. This group of professionals and parents are known as the IEP Team.

IEPs can be written for academic, social, emotional, and behavioral disabilities.

Initial Assessment Fee is 1,800 PHP.
