Special education in Warsaw and Poland

There are many different kinds of special needs schools in Warsaw and across Poland. Some of these schools focus only on special needs students, while others also have classes for other kids as well. And some schools provide full-time support for special needs students, while others offer part-time support.

Warsaw private schools offer five main environments to support students with special needs. Special education can be offered in a dedicated special needs school or class, an integrated class, a withdrawal class, or a regular class with resource support or indirect support.

Each of these schools provides support for students with different types of special needs. Virtually no school, though, provides support for all kinds of special needs. Most have a more narrow focus.

While this isn’t a complete list, there are private schools in Warsaw which support students with one or more of the following types of special needs:

Learning disabilities and disorders: E.G., ADD, ADHD, and dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia
Developmental disabilities: E.G., Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Asperger's syndrome, and Down syndrome
Behavioural and psychological issues: E.G., troubled teen behaviour and Oppositional Defiance Disorder (ODD)
Gifted or advanced learning abilities
Physical disabilities

Many special education schools provide support for one or more of these types of special needs. Other less common special needs supported include speech and language disorders and chronic illnesses.
