In one of the sample schools, Dr Amornwich's team found an unusually high number of LD students relative to the national average. Currently, the Ministry of Education's Special Education Bureau has 172 schools to which it administers special education for LD students. SPECIAL MEASURESAnother problem standing in the way of treating LD students is a lack of special education teachers. Dr Amornwich says there are currently only around 350 special education teachers in Thailand despite a soaring demand for such specialists. Chulalongkorn University, host to the prestigious Faculty of Education, has only two professors teaching Counselling Psychology, Guidance and Special Education degrees.
