Disability: primary school enrollment (kindergarten and elementary) - Elementary

The enrollment of a child with a disability in elementary school (from CP to CM2) is compulsory from the age of 6 years.

This schooling may take place in particular as follows:

• In a regular school establishment within localized units for school inclusion (Ulis)
• To your domicile or through a distance learning
• In an educational unit within a health or medico-social institution (for example, a medico-educational institute that accommodates children with mental disabilities)

It is the Departmental Commission for the Rights and Autonomy of Persons with Disabilities (CDAPH) that decides on your child's educational orientation according to his or her needs. For this orientation, you must contact your departmental home for persons with disabilities (MDPH) before the end of the school year (kindergarten) that precedes your child's entry into school.

Depending on the direction decided by the CDAPH, your child's schooling can take place full-time or part-time, in boarding, semi-boarding or day school.

If your child is enrolled in a regular school in the local school inclusion units (Ulis), he/she will receive learning time at a rate close to that of other pupils.

Your child's educational path is subject to a personalized schooling project (PPS).

The MDPH develops this project based on your child's needs assessment.

Teachers' work is carried out with reference to the official programs, taking into account, in particular, your child's pace of learning.
