The European School Ljubljana addresses learning difficulties under the Placement of Children with Special Needs Act. It uses a five-stage model: 1) teacher assistance during lessons; 2) school counsellor's assistance; 3) additional individual and/or group lessons; 4) professional opinion and assistance from an external expert; 5) an educational programme with adapted implementation (Decision on Placement). The school offers learning help, help in overcoming deficits or disorders, and a counselling service. The counselling service provides a supportive environment for students, parents, education professionals, and school employees. If needed, a student may receive an educational programme with adapted implementation and additional professional assistance.
