Specific Learning Differences

As terminology and definition often vary from country to country, under Specific Learning Differences (SLDs) School of Humanity identifies and accommodates the following categories:

gifted or talented learners who require a suitably challenging environment and support
learners’ communication and interaction differences (e.g. Autism spectrum)
learners with learning and cognition differences (e.g. dyslexia)
learners with behavioral, emotional, or social development differences (e.g. attention deficit disorder)
sensory and/or physical impairment (e.g. a degree of visual impairment)

The School understands that these differences may vary in terms of the condition, change over time and that learners can have more than one SLD.

<aside> ⚠️ The Institution is not responsible for the diagnoses of SLDs. Still, it ensures that all staff are informed about SLDs and how to support learners best in order to help them achieve and fully benefit from the learning at SoH.

<aside> ⚠️ If underlying conditions are not disclosed, the school has the right to ask the learner to withdraw their application from the institution. As such, if known, it is the caregivers’ or guardians’ responsibility to disclose special learning differences.
