Pioneering Inclusive Education in the Philippines
The Special Needs Education Department (SNED), in partnership with the Department of Education and advocates for inclusive learning, is dedicated to creating meaningful educational experiences for Filipino learners with special needs. Guided by the Bridge the Gap and Reinforce (BGR) framework, SNED promotes collaborative strategies that connect teachers, parents, and communities in supporting every child's growth.
As an institution that champions inclusive education, our educators work closely with families, specialists, and stakeholders to ensure that learners receive personalized support tailored to their unique needs.
We believe that inclusive education thrives through shared responsibility. By bridging gaps and reinforcing partnerships, SNED empowers learners to reach their full potential and contribute positively to society while honoring their individuality and strengths.
Comprehensive Educational Evaluation
SNED's Formal Assessment process provides thorough evaluation of students' academic, social, and developmental needs through evidence-based methodologies. Our certified specialists conduct comprehensive assessments to identify strengths, challenges, and appropriate educational interventions.
The assessment includes cognitive evaluations, academic achievement testing, behavioral observations, and adaptive functioning assessments. We utilize standardized tools and culturally responsive practices to ensure accurate and meaningful results for Filipino learners.
Following the assessment, detailed reports are prepared with specific recommendations for individualized education planning. Our team collaborates with families and schools to implement appropriate support strategies and monitor progress effectively.
Empowering Parents Through Education
Our comprehensive Parents' Orientation program equips families with essential knowledge and tools to support their children's special educational journey. Through interactive workshops and collaborative sessions, parents learn effective strategies for home-school partnerships.
The orientation covers key topics including understanding individual education plans, communication techniques, advocacy skills, and accessing community resources. Parents connect with experienced educators and fellow families to build a supportive network.
We believe that informed and engaged parents are crucial partners in their child's educational success. Our orientation program strengthens this partnership by providing practical guidance and fostering confidence in supporting their child's unique learning needs.
School Learning Action Cell Excellence
Our School Learning Action Cell (SLAC) sessions foster collaborative professional development among educators, focusing on innovative teaching strategies for special needs education. These interactive sessions promote continuous learning and pedagogical excellence.
SLAC sessions feature research-based discussions, practical workshops, and peer collaboration opportunities. Educators share best practices, analyze student data, and develop action plans to enhance inclusive classroom environments and learning outcomes.
Through regular SLAC participation, our teaching community stays updated with current trends in special education, develops stronger professional networks, and implements evidence-based interventions that directly benefit our learners' academic and social development.
