To whom and on what terms
A pupil may receive special needs education or other special support if this is required because of learning difficulties, an adaptation disorder, a disability or an illness.
Background information
Special support comprises special needs education and the support required by the pupil. Special needs education is predominantly pedagogical meaning it provides help for learning. Other support can include school attendance support as well as pedagogical support. These form an entity that supports the pupil. If necessary, a pupil must receive support without delay. An administrative decision is needed to provide special support.
If the pupil has been temporarily left behind in his or studies or otherwise needs short-term support, he or she is entitled to remedial teaching.
In case of learning difficulties or an adjustment disorder, a pupil may receive special needs education, which may be provided in connection with other school work or, for example, in a special class. The learning outcomes and contents of basic education may be individualised if the pupil cannot cope with the basic education syllabus because of a disability, an illness, delayed development, an emotional disturbance or other similar reason. Individualisation should only be utilised if a pupil cannot acceptably complete the syllabus in the given subject. Before this, the subject's objectives and contents should be specified by area of focus.
