in the case of Dwight International School in Seoul

Students will be given in-class support from the school's SEN program if necessary to ensure that the student is receiving what they need

Some adjustments and modification of assessments and contents can be made for subjects depending on the level of the student's numeracy and literacy

Share the IEP plan with the teachers so that the IEP students will also have the access to the full curriculum as their peers

Teachers will be updated with all the current SEN support and framework in full support of the students with SEN

Record the student's progress (both classroom teachers and special ed teachers) and review the progress at the end of each grading (or other designated specific period)

Consult with the parents to keep them updated about the student's progress
