Adapted primary school is a distinct educational form designed for students assessed as not having the prerequisites to meet the requirements of regular primary school due to intellectual disabilities. Adapted primary school has its own curriculum, and instruction is tailored to each student's prerequisites and needs. Within the adapted school forms program on Gotland, we teach students in grades 1-9 in adapted primary school and grades 1-4 in adapted upper secondary school. Currently, we have approximately 80 students enrolled in adapted primary school and approximately 40 students enrolled in adapted upper secondary school. We are now seeking to strengthen our operations for younger age groups.
