Student Course Review for my 12 y/o ESL science student in Japan

[cloa513]

I taught him about 3 times in the previous month.The student is a bit intellectually handicapped and ESL. He is in junior high school student so he is about 12 years old.
From my principal in this tiny school (has only two students now used to have a few more)

Good evening! How are you, although this rainy season has been finishing
actually in the Kanto district.?
I am very fine so that I did jog around Shinjuku station in the morning.

Anyway, I'd like to appreciate you for having taught this student in this
spring term.
We are now starting to write students' reports by the end of this
month.
So, please submit your report for the student one page with 400 words in a
week.

You'll be appreciated for your kind understanding the above situation
and for your kind cooperation.

Have a nice summer vacation.

From his assistant
Thank you for yesterday's message.

As for the report, consider it like a review of this terms lessons.
What is the subject, what he did well or not, etc.

This sounds like a very challenging young student to teach. Does he have good support at home? I was under the impression that Japanese parents typically were very supportive of their children's schoolwork, and even pushed them a bit to excel. Is that not the case here?

Also, do you know if he has been tested for any learning disabilities? If he suffers from dyslexia, that could explain some of his reluctance to do his homework assignments.
