One-day diagnosis for slow learners possible via govt's one-stop centre

Parents looking to enrol their children in government special needs schools or integrated special needs programmes for slow learners can find a one-day alternative to the long wait before obtaining the required diagnosis for them to enter.

Instead of waiting between six months and a year to get the diagnosis directly from a government clinic or private hospital, parents can take their children to a special screening programme run by the Education Ministry's Special Education one-stop centre.
