What accommodations do schools make for special-needs kids?

Not much. At AISC, there are some children with discipline problems who have “helpers” who try to correct their behavior. I find that the helpers are basically uneducated, untrained adults. - Sep 2022


I don't think most schools are set up to do individual learning plans like we’d desire in the US, but the small size does allow schools and teachers to work with parents and kids to try to meet their needs. I think there is a lot of willingness there, though the official training for special needs education may be lacking. - Jun 2021
