Students with Reading Difficulties
Diagnostic Testing
Students with conditions affecting learning (e.g., dyslexia, visual impairment, intellectual disabilities) undergo diagnostic testing. Schools base decisions regarding individual students’ education plans on the results of this testing.
Instruction for Children with Reading Difficulties
Diagnostic testing allows schools to identify students with reading difficulties. Experts in the Ministry of Education offer help to these students on a case by case basis. For example, students with blindness use instructional materials that are translated into Braille. Students who have reading difficulties due to sight problems use textbooks with enlarged print, digital devices with closed captioning, and portable print enlarging devices.
