Special primary education.

What is special primary education?

Special primary education schools often work with small groups and much individual guidance. There is a lot of attention for self-confidence, behavior, and how to learn. Special primary education is intended for children who need more guidance or a different approach than a regular primary school can offer.

Characteristics of special primary education schools:

• The classes are smaller, so teachers have more time to help students;
• Children work at their own pace;
• Children receive lessons in a way that better fits how they learn.

The goals of special primary education are the same as in regular primary education, but the path to them is more flexible.

Who is special primary education for?

When is special primary education a logical step? Children can attend a special primary education school if they:

• have difficulty learning or concentrating;
• need extra support with social contact;
• get overstimulated more easily;
• need more structure;
• or have learning problems with, for example, language or math, where they do not get enough support at the regular primary school.

Sometimes multiple things play a role at the same time. The school and the partnership tailored education then work together with parents to see what the child needs.

What is the difference between special primary education and special education?

Both special primary education and special education are separate schools, not special classes within a regular primary school. The difference lies in how much and what kind of extra support a child needs.

Special primary education is for children who need more guidance than a regular primary school can offer.

Special education is for children who need more intensive guidance or specialized care.
