What accommodations do schools make for special-needs kids?
There is a Learning Support Department, but best to get in contact with them first to see if they can accommodate your child. - Feb 2023
Schools have only very basic ability to deal with special needs. - Jun 2018
ASOY has a dedicated learning support counselor and works to accommodate minor learning disabilities. Details are available at http://asoy.org/asoy-academic-program/student-support-services/. - Apr 2017
I think none. - Jan 2014
Don't know. Appears to be limited, even at American School. - May 2012
I think ASOY is fairly accomodating, at least unofficially. I'm thinking of the case of a hyperactive boy who has been creatively handled. - Sep 2011
Handicapped children, no. None of the schools here have facilities anywhere near able to accomodate children with physical handicaps. As I mentioned above though, ASOY does have a fledgling learning resources program for children with learning disabilities. - Mar 2010
None, do not come here if you have a child with special needs. - Jan 2010
Not sure. - Nov 2008
American school has a director with a special ed background, and a part-time special ed teacher. - Sep 2008
There seems to be a concerted effort to make accomodations. Although I can't help but attribute this to the fact that a lare percentage of the student population are just learning to speak/read english. - Jun 2008
