The International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL) is happy to introduce new faculty members from across the globe who have joined the ISKL team!
These passionate and forward-thinking educators are experts in their field and are all united in their commitment to providing students at ISKL with the best possible learning experience.
Alexis Simpson takes on the lead as our new Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) in Elementary School (ES), and her role is to recognize and aid students with communication challenges and provide necessary language enrichment opportunities. ISKL’s speech and language curriculum ensures that these students are given full support with in-class lessons and intensive one-to-one or group therapy sessions as needed.
ISKL is one of the few international schools in Malaysia to offer ES students access to a dedicated, in-house, full-time SLP who works collaboratively with our teaching and support teams to provide evidence-based language development strategies embedded into the classroom. Speech and language services are also provided for individual students or small groups based on their assessed needs in the areas of language, voice, fluency, articulation and social communication skills.
