Register special school

In each individual case, a special education diagnosis is carried out by a special school teacher who is commissioned by a special school. The effects of disability on school learning are collected, analysed and evaluated. The special school teacher prepares a special education report, which is included in the decision of the school authority together with further reports and, if necessary, an opinion of the school medical service at the health authority. The parents are informed about the results and advised about possible places of learning. The school authority decides whether and in which special education priority there is a need for support. Parents decide whether their child should attend a special school or participate in inclusive education.

Please contact the school management of the responsible primary school, where you can also register for school attendance. If parents turn to a special school in advance for advice on their child's school career, they can also submit this application to the special school.

No prerequisites are required if the parents wish to apply.

The data collected during school registration is sufficient. It is advisable to allow the school to exchange information with the attending day care centre about the previous course of education so that this can be taken into account in the decision (release from confidentiality).

There are no fees.

The application must be submitted by 31.1. of the year at the latest.

The processing time depends on the individual case and the necessary diagnostic surveys.
