Do you have a child aged 6-12?

If you feel that your child is having learning disorders, please talk to the class teacher. The school then clarifies the need for support in a defined procedure. Please note that the parents make an application for the test for special educational needs. For more information see:

This procedure is designed for primary school, for older children there may be different procedures.
