What accommodations do schools make for special-needs kids?
There are some schools which cater to special needs kids but they tend to be farther out from the other schools, resulting in longer commute times. - Nov 2020
Depends on the school. A few schools will (SCIS, Livingston). Many schools will not (YCIS, SAS). Your mileage may vary. - Dec 2014
I'm not sure about schools that cater to foreigners but from my experience as a teacher in a rural area and according to some research I did, kids with special needs get little to no accommodation or support. Now that awareness of disability is growing in urban areas, services are expanding and getting better, but it's slow-going, and generally those services can be quite expensive. - Aug 2014
Mixed, but it can be done. Don't expect the same level of care as in the U.S. with the No Child Left Behind Act and the ADA. However, things can get done if you work with the schools long enough. - Feb 2009
