Lessons take place in small classes with usually six to thirteen students. In schools with a special educational focus, children and young people with disabilities are among themselves.
There is usually no opportunity at the school for them to learn together with students without disabilities. The teachers and pedagogical staff at the specials needs schools know through their specialist training and many years of experience how to assess which barriers exist for people with different disabilities and how they can be overcome. The schools are spatially and technically geared towards students with disabilities.
