Limited. ISU has some specialists and can provide aid for some needs. - Jun 2022


ISU is all about inclusion, however, I do not know how accommodating the school would be for special needs kids. - Dec 2021


Both KISU and ISU do offer accommodations. - Nov 2019


They do their best to differentiate in the classroom. If the student's needs cannot be met that way, they facilitate the connection to an in-class learning assistant (paid for by the parent, this person helps with the student's learning in the class). Or they facilitate connection with after school tutors. - Mar 2019


Some are better than others. ISU seems to have the best program for special needs. - Feb 2019


They do accommodate mild learning disabilities. - Dec 2018


ISU is the best and main reason we came to Uganda for a special needs child. See more details in school report. Top priority is learning diversity and inclusion at ISU. - Jun 2018


They have been able to support my two sons who need extra learning support. They have kids with extensive physical and mental challenges and integrate them well into the classroom. - Jun 2018


I'm not sure but I suspect that they don't make many. - Jun 2014


Most of the large international schools do make accommodations for special-needs kids, but resources can sometimes be limited. Definitely contact the schools well ahead of the move and make sure they are aware of your child's particular situation. - Mar 2013
