About us

Our school was founded on 26 August 1977. Since then it has been continuously developing and expanding its activities, and today it is a complex institution with several areas of work.

We provide education, rehabilitation and comprehensive support to children and students with developmental and physical disabilities, from preschool to secondary school age.

We see our school as a modern, well-equipped institution in which the potential of every child can develop in a pleasant and stimulating atmosphere. With this goal in mind, we constantly improve our support services and our cooperation with other institutions, so that children can be more fully included in the community.
