We are supposed to get our own beer?- Testing for learning disability in Bangkok
Supporting students with learning disabilities in Bangkok can be a challenge, especially at the university level, where support services are uneven across institutions. However, there are a few universities and international campuses that are more inclusive, offer reasonable accommodations, or follow Western education models that are more likely to support students with conditions like dyslexia, ADHD, ASD, or processing disorders. 🎓 Universities in Bangkok Potentially Suitable for Students with Learning Disabilities 1. Mahidol University International College (MUIC) One of Thailand’s most reputable international colleges. Uses Western-style curriculum, English-medium instruction. Reportedly offers academic support services, including: Extended time for exams Access to advisors or learning support staff Will likely consider formal psychoeducational reports (especially if in English and from recognised providers). ➡️ Good for: High-functioning students with learning difficulties who need structured support and international standards. 2. Chulalongkorn University – International Programs Thailand’s most prestigious university. Some international programs (like BBA, Communication Arts, Engineering) are in English. Not widely known for learning disability services, but: International programs may allow for accommodations if formal assessments are provided. Some instructors are familiar with inclusive education practices. ➡️ Caveat: May require strong advocacy and upfront documentation. Bureaucracy can be an obstacle. 3. Bangkok University – International College More flexible and creative environment. Has programs in communications, media, design, and business. Teaching approach is less rigid, and some students report positive experiences when requesting accommodations. They’ve shown some openness to alternative learning styles. ➡️ Suitable for students needing a less pressurised academic culture. 4. Rangsit University – International College Offers various international programs, including art, design, business, and aviation. Known for more inclusive policies and willingness to accommodate special needs (though services are not always formalised). Students can get one-on-one attention, depending on the faculty. ➡️ Often more flexible than top-tier universities, with a creative campus atmosphere. 5. Stamford International University Western-style curriculum, English-speaking instructors, diverse student body. Offers academic tutoring, learning support, and often a more personalised learning experience. Known to be accommodating if official documentation is provided. ➡️ A good fit for students who want a private, international-style university with flexibility. 🧠 What Makes a University “Suitable”? For a student with learning disabilities, suitable universities should offer: Academic accommodations Extended time, separate testing rooms, assistive tech Learning support services Tutors, writing centers, academic skills programs Flexible teaching style Visual aids, recorded lectures, alternative assessments Willingness to accept assessments From EdPsych, Global Education Testing, etc. Inclusive mindset Staff trained in neurodiversity, student-first policies 📝 How to Proceed Narrow the field – Consider programs of interest (e.g. business, arts, communications). Contact admissions or student services – Ask directly: Do you offer accommodations for students with dyslexia/ADHD? Do you accept psychoeducational reports from certified psychologists? What support structures are in place for neurodiverse students? Provide documentation early – Certified reports (in English), with clear diagnosis and recommended accommodations, help build the case. ⚠️ Caveat Most Thai universities still lack a formal system like a Disability Support Office (DSO). International programs and private institutions are usually more open than public Thai-language faculties.- Breaking News: Congress Votes Unanimously to Subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell
Ain't going to happen unless a deal is reach whereby Maxwell promises to gives Trump a clean bill of health (ignoring the fat legs).....
