STUDENTS WITH AUTISM HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE...
The internship in Eden School has helped me to have a better understanding of Autism. We are taught to use ASD friendly strategies such as visual aids to engage students in meaningful learning. Although the students have some learning difficulties, they try their best to communicate with us in their special way. I am extremely touched by the effort they put in and it strives me to work even harder.
Pathlight School is proud of all our 38 students' PSLE outcomes. Each one of them tried their best!
While academic achievements are important milestones to celebrate, the School knows that such achievements are not the only outcomes we aim for our students.
