What accommodations do schools make for special-needs kids?
Parents can pay the school extra to have an assistant in the child’s classroom to help with behavior and learning challenges. Many expat employers will reimburse for this. Reimbursement can also be sought through the workplace for tutors outside of school hours (from spouses on compound or online). Formal testing for disabilities must be done overseas. - Aug 2025
Probably not much. - Jun 2016
Ela Murray elementary school seems to accomodate special needs children well if the need is an academic difficulty (you can, for example, hire a private teacher to assist in your child's classroom) or physical challenge. It is not particularly equipped to challenge gifted children, so you may want to bring extra materials, but in PNG your children will be learning many new things aside from academics, and will not be bored! - Jun 2008
