Special needs education by Simo Uusinoka, M.Ed., Senior Lecturer & Irmeli Lignell, Senior Lecturer

05-09.05.14
For all children in Finland education is compulsory. If the student needs more help than can give the nearest school, the teacher will help the family find a school that meets the needs of the student. In these schools pupils have various tools, and for their teachers and parents together constitute individual curriculum. Children with disabilities are engaged in special institutions, centers and school where teachers strive to prepare these children, as far as possible - to a normal life in society.
We were particularly impressed and delighted by its tolerance and professional attitude towards the students going to Kiipula Vocational and rehabilitation  College for students  and adolescents with physical and mental disabilities.

One advantage is  in addition to teachers, children work for speech therapists, doctors, nurses, therapists, special educators . Apart from this developed for each student individual curriculum where designated three most important goals of child development: a practical, simple, but specific to the child. Classrooms equipped with the necessary training for special equipment (computer, printer, multimedia projector, interactive whiteboard - in each class).
