Sri KDU International School Kota Damansara

The school emphasizes the importance of social and emotional learning across all age groups. In the Early Years, activities are designed to help children develop social skills and emotional understanding. Circle time sessions provide a platform for students to express their feelings and build relationships. For older students, a dedicated School Counsellor offers individual and group counselling sessions, as well as workshops on mental health, resilience, and coping strategies. The counsellor works closely with teachers and parents to address students' emotional and social needs, ensuring a supportive environment for all learners.

The school supports students with a range of special educational needs, including learning difficulties, attention-related challenges, and social-emotional issues. The school is not a specialist SEN institution but offers individualized support through IEPs and differentiated instruction. The Inclusion Team, in collaboration with classroom teachers, monitors student progress and adjusts support strategies as needed. Parents are actively involved in the planning and review process to ensure that their child's needs are met effectively.

An ELL teacher collaborates with classroom teachers to support students' academic progress. Services are provided with parental consent and may incur additional charges.
