At Rautavaara Upper Secondary School, the special education teacher supports students with learning difficulties and helps them develop their study skills. You can contact the teacher if you find reading, writing, mathematics, concentration or planning your studies challenging.

Together with the special education teacher, you can find suitable study methods and ways to make progress in your studies. Support is available for scheduling assignments, organising information and preparing for exams. Support measures are planned together with the student and, where needed, subject teachers and the guidance counsellor.

The special education teacher also helps identify learning difficulties, assess the need for special arrangements during upper secondary studies and matriculation examinations, and apply for these arrangements.

Learning support from the special education teacher is available without a formal special education decision. If learning support is insufficient and the criteria for special education are met, special education is provided based on a separate formal decision.

Students and guardians are encouraged to contact the special education teacher as soon as concerns about learning arise.
