Literacy & language
Bahasa Melayu and English through communication, sound and letter awareness, reading, writing and functional language.
Curriculum & Individualised Learning
Accessible academics. Meaningful priorities for every learner.
KSS uses KSSR Special Education as the academic foundation and an Individualised Education Plan (IEP/RPI) to organise each learner’s priorities. The aim is not only to know a skill, but to use it more confidently in everyday life.
Six connected domains
A curriculum for learning and participation
Numeracy & concepts
Number sense, quantity, patterns, measurement, time, money and problem-solving with concrete materials.
Science & exploration
Hands-on experiences that support observation, questions, classification and simple relationships.
Communication & social participation
Ask for help, choose, understand directions, share attention, take turns and join peers.
Regulation, sensory & motor participation
Recognise state, use movement or rest strategies, manage transitions and return to learning.
Daily living, values & character
Meal routines, tidying, personal care, responsibility, good manners, prayer and independence.
Individualised Education Plan
A practical tool for choosing priorities
An IEP should not become a list of everything the child cannot yet do. It connects current strengths and barriers to meaningful goals, teaching strategies and evidence.
- 01
Build the learner profile
Bring together family information, reports, observation, strengths, interests, communication and current function.
- 02
Agree priorities
Identify goals that matter to the learner’s education and everyday participation.
- 03
Put strategies into practice
Use strategies within classroom routines and natural practice opportunities.
- 04
Record progress
Use observation, work samples, portfolios and task data to understand the response.
- 05
Review and revise
Continue, adapt or replace goals based on evidence and discussion with the family.
Responsive teaching
Adjust the path without losing the purpose
- Break instructions into smaller steps
- Use schedules and visual prompts where helpful
- Begin with concrete experience before abstract concepts
- Repeat learning through different activities
- Use interests and choices to support engagement
- Adjust task length, language or response format
- Plan movement or sensory breaks
- Reduce support gradually as independence grows
Important boundary
Therapy-informed, not a replacement for therapy
Teaching may be shaped by relevant principles from occupational therapy, speech-language support, early intervention or behaviour support. Educators remain responsible for education, and clinical services are only described when delivered by an appropriately qualified professional.
