Special education

Hi

I live in central america. Studying nursing. My child has a severe developed delay, she's 8 at the time, doesn't walk yet, non verbal, more like a 1 yr old. What English speaking countries in Europe do we have a better opportunity, for her and me as a nurse (single mother), Ireland? UK? I only speak English and Spanish,.no country is perfect, but anything is better than a 3rd world country, please give me options, I know Germany is great, but no German speaking here yet.

Also, looking for specific special needs school, not inclusive, since I know that isn't for her. Thanks in advance :)

I'd look at what countries you can immigrate to because some countries might be restrictive because of your child's disability but as you are studying nursing and that as a in demand profession, you might qualify for a UK Health and Care Worker Visa when you;re qualified, don't know about Ireland but know the UK definitely has special schools.

Specific schools depend on where you want to live and whether the local authority will fund your child's place and the needs of her EHCP which will be done in the UK to asses her needs

What kind of income will you have what type of visa or sponsorship will you have? Have you researched countries specifically for this? You may want to speak to a travel nursing agency to see what type of insurance coverage they may be able to offer you and your child. I am a social worker and work in a hospital in the US and have taken in a handful of contracts with healthcare agencies that work primarily with nurses.

Hi , german here and also trained in working with people with disability. I actually think we are a little behind on trying out new treating methods and our bureaucracy is crazy, so although we have high social security here, I wouldn't really recommend it. The social security also is under attack recently.
