Primary school no 318 with integrative classes in Warsaw
Primary School number 318 is dedicated to children aged 6-14 and focuses on integration of kids with special needs and their emotional and social development.

To support children with disabilities, school provides extra classes like: sensory integration, social skills training, psychoeducational classes, speech therapy and individual lessons.
Most of the kids from school spend their free time in a day-room, where school provides daily activities including art workshops, reading workshops, integrative and psychoeducational games, physical plays, individual work with kids if it is needed.
