SEN Programme

At FIS Educational Services we work with children experiencing learning and behavioural difficulties. Over the past years we have been helping children with a variety of concerns:

• Under achieving in school
• Disruptive behaviour at home and school
• Lack of confidence
• Poor handwriting, spelling and/or numeracy
• Lack of concentration
• Social or behavioural difficulties

We liaise with a range of specialists to provide the most comprehensive service to children with diverse educational needs.

The help offered by FIS Educational Services is on an optional basis and only with the full agreement of the parents or guardians of the child.

Diagnostic evaluation

Evaluations provide specific information about child's learning strengths and weaknesses. A range of testing is available including AD/HD screening, dyslexia, dyspraxia, IQ levels, academic abilities and learning difficulties. Our collection of standardised tests will measure:

• Learning patterns, concentration, and attention
• Ability to process information
• Present academic achievement as well as intellectual potential
• Perceptual and Motor development
• Hearing and vision tests are required as a part of comprehensive evaluation. These are usually arranged by parents.

Counselling

Life can be very difficult for children who find that they are battling against frustrations of emotional and behavioural problems or who seem to continuously underachieve in school no matter how hard they try.

Counselling is available for children who need help in understanding their behavioural and social patterns as well as the learning difficulties they are trying to tackle. Success is achieved through problem solving and behaviour management techniques and regular consultations with parents. We provide counselling to children experiencing difficulties as well their family members. We understand that the expatriation experience may be a challenging one and that the whole family may need support in going through the time of changes. It is often helpful to speak to someone who can understand but who can also remain impartial to what is happening.
