Singapore Ministry of Education Delegation visits Shema Kolainu – Hear Our Voices to Share Autism Education Successes
Shema Kolainu hosted an online visit for representatives from Singapore’s Ministry of Education as part of its initiative to globalize autism treatment programs
The visit, conducted on Zoom, included the school’s ADL room, where students master basic living skills and everyday activities, its sensory room, a controlled multisensory environment designed to deliver stimuli to various senses using lighting effects, color, sounds, music and scents, and the other various school classrooms. Mrs. Rechany reviewed the school’s curriculum, individualized for each child based on their needs and criterion-referenced assessment, as well as the decision-making process in determining each student’s individual care portfolio. Finally, Shema Kolainu shared their parent collaboration strategy, allowing parents to directly observe daily performance and take active part in monitoring, evaluating, and revising the program, as needed to ensure each student's continued progress.
The visit is part of a long-lasting relationship between Shema Kolainu and Singapore’s Ministry of Education, started at a conference held by The International Center for Autism Research and Education (ICare4Autism) in Jerusalem, Israel in 2012. Dr. Joshua Weinstein, founder and CEO of both ICare4Autism and SKHOV, invited Dr. Aljunied, who attended the conference, to visit and tour the Shema Kolainu school, along with Mrs. Rechany. “I see the strength in collaborating internationally, and gaining insights through other schools’ practices,” said Mrs. Rechany of the visit. “There is a clear benefit in reaching out, opening our doors, and sharing our knowledge with likeminded organizations.”
