What accommodations do schools make for special-needs kids?
They do have some support. There effectiveness may be questionable. Though many of the teachers are American/English, and the school is advertised as an American based curriculum, you cannot get away from the fact that it's Portugal with the Portuguese laid-back mind set versus the more rigorous process oriented regiment of a truly American based special needs program, including talented and gifted kids. - Jul 2015
Very limited and on a case by case basis for mild special needs. Best to contact the schools early with as many details as possible to find out. There are no options that I'm aware of for severe cases. - Oct 2011
I was told CAISL does make accommodations, but I don't know anyone that has made the request. - Sep 2008
