Special Needs Education

The Department of Education (DepEd) states that the "entry age is 5 years old while his or her exit age in basic education is 24 years old. However, if the learner with disability is beyond the school age of a typically developing learner in basic education, he/she can be recommended for other option like the ALS program." ALS, or Alternative Learning System, is a "parallel learning system in the Philippines that provides a practical option to the existing formal instruction." 

Still according to DepEd, "the placement of the child in any learning environment shall depend on the severity or nature of the disability." A learner can be accommodated in a mainstream class if the learner has a mild to moderate condition. If the learner has a severe to profound disability, he/she may be recommended for a self-contained class or in a transition program. 

For those who follow a homeschool program, one should "coordinate with the nearest SPED Center where there is an itinerant teacher or schools implementing the distance education program for children with disabilities."

Individualized Education Plan

DepEd prescribes having an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or a "written statement of the educational program designed to meet a child's individual needs." Prior to school hunting, you can consider the IEP guide to determine which school suits your child's needs:

• list of the child's strengths and weaknesses
• talk to teachers and/or therapists and get their thoughts about the child
• visit the child's class and perhaps other classes that may be helpful to him or her
• talk to your child about his or her feelings toward school
• write down what you think your child can accomplish during the school year

For the complete list including public schools that offer Special Education programs, you can check the National Council on Disability Affairs website.
