Service Description
Service Content：
Provide comprehensive assessment services for children who are suspected of having special educational needs, including intelligence, learning ability, communication, motor skill, social adaptation as well as emotional and behavioural assessments, etc. so as to provide appropriate educational placement recommendations to ensure that the children obtain the educational opportunity that allows them to develop their potential and that is suitable for their physical and mental development.
The Service Target Group and Application Eligibility：
This service is for students aged between 3 and 21 who are suspected of having developmental impairment, physical impairment, learning difficulties or emotional-behavioral problems that are permanent and persistent, causing significant difficulties in learning; or who are medical certificated to have special educational needs; or who are suspected of having characteristics of giftedness alongside with physical and/or psychological limitations.
When parents or teachers suspect that their child or student has special educational needs or requires a change of educational placement, they may call, during the office hours, to the Children Comprehensive Assessment Center (for students aged 6 years or below) or the Centre of Psycho-pedagogical Support and Special Education (for students aged 7 to 21) for consultation. After understanding the student’s situation and based on the student’s actual needs, the staff of the relevant centre will arrange an educational placement assessment or provide teaching or home-based learning recommendations.
The school must obtain parental consent before referring a student for services. If the student has been referred by a doctor or a rehabilitation service professional, and, with the parents’ consent, provides supporting documents proving that the student exhibits signs of physical or psychological limitations and is suspected of having special educational needs, the centre’s staff will arrange an educational placement assessment.
An educational placement assessment may be requested by parents or guardians, or, with their written consent, by a school, a medical institution or a representative of a rehabilitation service provider. Upon receipt of the required application documents, the center will arrange an assessment for the student in the areas of intelligence, learning ability, behavioral and emotional functioning, motor skills or communication skills.
Service Results：
An educational placement recommendation appropriate to the student’s abilities is provided in an educational placement assessment report.
