What accommodations do schools make for special-needs kids?

Malta as a whole is very limited in services they provide for special needs kids, especially if those needs are significant. The international school will provide an LSA (Learning Specialist Assistant) for kids with identified needs. But those LSAs will not have a special ed background generally. And, there would be no special curriculum that would be utilized. Just your child with an assistant by their side spoon-feeding them the same materials/curriculum as the other kids. And, parents would pay the cost above and beyond normal tuition fees. - Sep 2016


This is a Class 2 post, so there are some accommodations, though I cannot comment from any experience. - Jan 2014


OK. - Feb 2010


Malta has a special-needs program and makes accommodations as necessary as long as the "need" does not overwhelm the school. Non-Maltese families must pay for the extra help required. - Jul 2009
