Both EA and ABC offer help for special needs. Best to discuss specifics with the school when you contact them. - Jun 2018


Not great support, which seems to be standard for the FS. - Mar 2018


The American school apparently has a program and we have a full-time medical officer at post to assist. - Nov 2017


Not so much on this one. But there is a school here that accepts kids with IEPs and behavioral problems. The families with kids there seem to be happy with it. Other schools do not really offer services/help to those students. - Jun 2015


After school parties, after school activities. In my view accommodations are better than schools in the USA. - Jul 2014


Arbol de Dios makes extensive accommodations for special-needs kids. Many kids have shadows and there is a nurse on-site. - Jul 2011
