At Yasha Academy, our Special Education program is designed to help children learn at their own pace and develop the skills they need for greater confidence and independence. We take a child-centred approach, focusing on individual strengths, learning needs and everyday challenges.

Our support covers key areas of development:

Academic & Learning Skills
Individualised support in reading, writing, spelling, comprehension, mathematics and other academic areas, using structured and multisensory teaching methods.

Cognitive Skills
Activities that strengthen attention, memory, thinking, reasoning, problem-solving and understanding of concepts, helping children become more effective learners.

Communication & Language Skills
Support for understanding instructions, expressing thoughts, building vocabulary, developing functional communication and improving listening and conversational skills.

Social & Emotional Skills
Helping children understand and express emotions, develop self-confidence, interact appropriately with others and build positive relationships.

Fine Motor Skills
Activities that improve hand strength, coordination and control needed for writing, drawing, cutting, using classroom materials and other everyday tasks.

Gross Motor & Movement Skills
Support to develop body coordination, balance, motor planning and movement skills that help children participate more confidently in school and daily activities.

Adaptive & Functional Skills
Teaching practical skills such as following routines, organising belongings, managing time, making choices and completing age-appropriate daily tasks.

Life Skills & Independence
Building independence in personal care, communication, safety, decision-making and everyday responsibilities so children can become more confident in managing themselves.

Pre-Academic & School Readiness Skills
Preparing young children for school by developing foundational skills such as attention, sitting tolerance, following instructions, early literacy, numeracy and classroom readiness.

Our goal is not just academic improvement. We aim to help every child develop the skills, confidence and independence needed to participate meaningfully at school, at home and in the community.
