What accommodations do schools make for special-needs kids?

TIS has a reading specialist and has been very accommodating to my son with ADHD and processing issues. He has done very well there. - Apr 2018


Not much. - Aug 2016


The international school has an elevator. - Aug 2015


Special needs children will have challenges finding support in this country, but there are some resources available. - Aug 2014


This would be a difficult post for special-needs kids. I do not believe TIS makes many accommodations. I'm not sure about the other schools, but they are all fairly small, and special education is not well-developed in Albania. - May 2013


Not many. There are stairs up to most of the classrooms. One child had broken her foot and was on crutches, and before she got the hang of them, she couldn't make it up the stairs for half of her classes and just went home for that half. I have heard of an Albanian woman who has worked with Autistic children. - Dec 2012
