Education for children with special needs

Wherever possible, children with special education needs are enrolled with other children in ordinary classes. As in the case of early childhood education, a range of specialist support services is available. Residential special schools also provide teaching and live-in care for children with major difficulties. Children with sight or hearing disabilities may attend either their local school or specialist residential schools.
