Advocating for expanded access to professional assessments and Inclusive Learning Resource Centers, highlighting the barriers faced by LSENs.
Learners with special educational needs (LSENs) face significant barriers in accessing professional assessments crucial for tailored educational planning. Despite legal mandates like the Inclusive Education Act (RA 11650), many LSENs in the Philippines remain underserved due to financial, geographic, and resource constraints. Informal teacher-led evaluations cannot substitute for standardized professional assessments that accurately identify learning needs and guide effective interventions. Advocating for expanded access to professional assessments and fully operational Inclusive Learning Resource Centers (ILRCs) is essential to uphold equity and quality in inclusive education.
