Description

Project objective is to increase the capacity of Viljandi County municipalities to provide support services to disadvantaged children and young people, which would prevent them from dropping out of education early and promote inclusion in education. The direct goal is to develop a holistic system of support services for students with special education needs in the county.

The project activities will result in developing a service model for the provision of integrated support services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities across Viljandi county. The service model includes the fields of education, social work and health care in an integrated manner in Mulgi, Põhja-Sakala and Viljandi municipalities as well as Viljandi city. In addition, specialists will be trained within the project with whose help the service model can be implemented after its development.

As a basis for the implementation of the service model is planned to be create a competence centre that will bring together specialists to provide support services and a school for students with special educational needs as a central place of study in Viljandi.
