Cheshire Centre continues programmes

The Cheshire Inclusive Education Resource Centre will continue to provide three educational programmes for children with or without disability in early childhood learning, an official says.

Programme coordinator Shirley Tuvi said they had been teaching the programmes to help children who required special attention.

We have three programmes running parallel or corresponding to each other in the school that consists of centre-based, home-based and the school-based programmes.

Tuvi said there were two classes for the centre-based programme.

The early intervention classes were for all children (aged 8-16) who were diagnosed with physical disability, speech and visual impairments, learning difficulties and intellectual disabilities.

Tuvi said the inclusive early childhood classes consisted of children with or without disabilities, ages 4-6, and required the same attention.

The home-based programme, it is aimed to educate unfortunate children who live in the squatters and have inadequate budget to attend mainstream schools.
