Testimonials (Shadow Services)

We are very fortunate to have Mrs Loh as our son's shadow teacher. She is more than a shadow teacher. She cares for our son and is also a partner in our journey to help our son. Excel Learning Clinic has been a great help in transiting our son into Primary One. Madam Heng and Mrs Loh constantly give us guidance when required, believing that our son can gain independence in school. Our son has made a lot of improvement, from February where he was shadowed by Mrs Loh, till August where he is no longer shadowed in class.

Shadow Services

The Shadow Services for children with special needs is an extra support system for students attending mainstream schools. Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Disorders/ Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD), dyslexia , Global Developmental Disorder (GDD), and other learning challenges will be able to benefit from the shadow service.

The shadow teacher will encourage the student to interact with his/her peers and to participate in class/school activities. In addition, the student will be taught to cope with different social situations that may take place in the class/school environment. The service includes the planning of activities and routines that will allow the student to gain independence in the school environment as quickly as possible.

To help us understand and determine the needs of the student, an assesssment will be done. Based on the assessment, a personalised education plan will be created for the student.

Our shadow teacher helps the student by:

• Encouraging him/her to interact with the teachers and classmates in the classroom setting;
• Staying focused in class;
• Improving self-control and communication with teachers and peers in social situations;
• Being open and staying positive when approaching new tasks.
