Special Education

The "éducation différenciée" (special education) sector offers parallel courses to pre-school and primary education for children with disabilities, including:

•            speech disorders and hearing impairments;
•            visual impairments;
•            impairments resulting from severe brain damage;
•            physical and motor disabilities;
•            learning difficulties;
•            impairments resulting from severe behavioural disorders;
•            impairments resulting from autism or psychosis.

The act of 14 March 1973 forms the basis of the legislation on special education. This organised the various specialist centres and institutes into a coherent system under the co-ordination of the education ministry's special education directorate.
