Special Education

 

 

We are committed to providing education for all. This includes providing a high quality of education to all young people with special educational needs including those with physical, sensory, behavioural, communication and learning difficulties.

 

 

Each child's needs are assessed by our psychological services staff, in consultation with teachers and the child's parents. The purpose of the assessment is to determine what kind of education will be most appropriate to the child's needs.

 

 

Where possible, children attend their local primary or secondary school with the appropriate level of specialist help and support. Children whose needs cannot be met in their local school are placed in an appropriate school either locally or, in a few cases, outwith West Dunbartonshire.
