Children with special needs

What

Each school is required to provide remedial services for the learning-impaired and special needs as much as possible.

How

Children with special needs are taught in schools through different types of inclusion (single pupils in schools, cooperation classes, through double teaching etc.). Children requiring remedial services for the learning-impaired are usually enrolled at their elementary school. They should only be enrolled at a school for the learning-impaired if their elementary school has determined that the child does not meet his/her prerequisites for being taught at the elementary school (Art. 41 BayEUG) or if the extent of the remedial services needed is so significant that solely a school for the learning-impaired can meet the child’s remedial needs. If it remains doubtful whether the conditions for going to the elementary school (according to Art. 41 para. 1 BayEUG) are met, the elementary school can first enroll the child for up to three months on a trial basis and then decide once this trial period has expired.
