Learning Support Service
Taipei Adventist American School has learning support services which provides support for students needing academic or special educational needs. Each student in need of learning support services will be considered for admission on the basis of whether TAAS can provide his or her learning needs, given the design of the program.
TAAS requires complete documentation (past evaluations, individual educational programs, testing, medical reports) on students applying to TAAS who have been diagnosed with a disability that negatively affects the child’s ability to learn under normal circumstances. Should this information not be available, screening must occur before admission can be considered. If TAAS discovers a problem that has not been disclosed to admissions, then TAAS has the right to not accept the student, or to ask the student to leave if they have already started school.
Once admitted, students with special needs are served in the mainstream classroom educational program and receive support services that focus on remediation of academic disabilities, skill development, and/or academic support.
Parents should note that admission to one grade does not guarantee admission to the next grade, given that a child’s learning needs may progress beyond the scope of TAAS support services.
For more specific policies and procedures regarding Learning Support Services, please see page 11 of the Student and Parent Handbook.
