MOE common SPED school application
Official steps for applying to a government-funded special education school.
What this resource offers
MOE sets out the SPED application route, the reports families need to prepare and what may happen after submission. The process is designed around the child’s assessed learning needs and the school’s ability to support them. Begin early, confirm individual school deadlines and seek help from the child’s EI centre or social-service agency if needed.
