Special Educational Support Needs (SPU)

SPU is a systematic classification used to determine placement in special needs schools

Mia's family chose a small, protected school with fewer students for a smoother, more relaxed start
Mia attended a private special needs school after a year in integrative kindergarten
Mia's experience at the private special needs school was initially positive
Mia experienced challenges in mathematics at school, which led to a decision to switch to a special school specializing in intellectual and creative development
Mia was assessed by the child development center (SPZ) several times, which concluded that education supports focusing on intellectual learning were required.
Despite her lower cognitive ability, Mia demonstrated a positive and independent attitude in interpersonal interactions.
