What accommodations do schools make for special-needs kids?
The big international schools *may* be able to handle more typical needs, like mild dyslexia or ADHD. You would need to discuss with them directly. Several families of kids who really needed more individualized attention (gifted, more serious ADHD, the full gamut) were very happy at Arbol de Vida. - Sep 2025
