To strengthen teachers' understanding of IE and enhance their professional knowledge, the school encourages teachers to participate in the "Catering for Diverse Learning Needs" training program organized by the Education Bureau, and invites the Educational Psychologist in Residence to provide training for all teachers. In addition, the school has flexibly utilized the "Learning Support Grant" to employ additional IE Teaching Assistants to provide after-school homework tutorials for students in need. The school follows the Whole School Approach to cater for individual differences and implements positive education strategies to support students' special learning needs and test-taking skills. The school has also procured professional support services, such as speech therapy to help students with speech and language impairments to develop their communication and language skills, and registered social workers to provide diversified support services for students with special learning needs. The school emphasizes home-school co-operation and has established a regular communication mechanism to report students' learning progress and achievements to parents. Through different channels, we discuss with parents on strategies to support students' learning and growth.
