ABSTRACT
The chapter “Navigating School Transitions” explores the challenges faced by families with children who have special learning needs when moving to new schools, particularly in the context of international schools. The chapter highlights the difficulties parents encounter in finding suitable schools that can accommodate their child’s needs. It shares personal stories of families who have experienced rejection or inadequate support from schools during the transition process. The chapter emphasizes the importance of inclusive practices and calls for schools to provide appropriate resources and support for students with learning differences. It presents a chart that outlines common reasons schools may reject students with special needs, while also presenting the parents’ perspective and questioning the school’s decision-making process. The chapter concludes by urging all schools to address the needs of students with learning differences and provide them with a quality education.
