36 Beijing Schools that Offer Extra Help to Students with AEN

Sometimes finding an appropriate school in China, even in Beijing, can be tough, knowing your child more than likely will need some sort of support at some point in their education journey.

Whether your child has special education needs (SEN), or simply additional education needs (AEN), it’s comforting to know that the extra support she needs is available at her own school. The types of situations where a student would need more support due to learning hurdles has a farther breadth than learning or physical disabilities.
