Special Needs Schools
Until recently there have been no schooling faciliteis for special needs
children. Except for AIS none of the International schools will accept
children with any learning disabilities. Egyptian familes who had means
were forced to move to other countries if they wanted to provide education
and or rehabilitaiton for their disabled children. Still they are few.
