Hi,
  I recently put in a request to see if anyone could give me some advise on schooling in and around Orgiva.My son has Aspergers Syndrome and i am finding out that an International school is going to be the best option for him.The fees for the school ive found run up to around 6000.00 a year,which is a lot of money,also they increase each year!!.....this does include his transport and lunches but still…its a bit of an eye opener.
My next question is does anyone know if you can qualify for any type of funding or help with school fees,he gets disability allowance here,would he still be entilted to carry that on?
Any information is welcome.

Hi Shellie

If you are a British Citizen You can guilt help from the British Consulate (As A British Citizen)
http://ukinspain.fco.gov.uk/en/our-offices-in-spain/consular-offices/malaga-consulate/

The Consulate in Malaga Will provide you and help you with any assitance

If you are not a British Citizen I would advise you to contact your country of Origion Consulate.

Hi

Well Its still the Governments responsibility to make sure of the welfare of any child is comfortable and has the basic needs where ever you are in the world. There is many children Ex Pats UK around Salou That has various Disability?s and The English Consulate helps find special needs schools they also make sure the benefits that you receive they make sure it gets transferred to your Spanish account…

My dad gets a Pension and some sickness benefits As He is near blind and I must say anything he has problem he calls them and he gets all the advice he needs

I wish you well what ever happens…

I am sure it be ok….
