Support services
Reykjavík City's policy on special education and support focuses on inclusive schooling. This means the school provides services to all students, disabled and non-disabled alike. Teachers must adapt their teaching to the student group, using various methods and activities for the students.
Preventive healthcare
School healthcare provides structured health education and promotes healthy lifestyle habits.
School counseling
The school counselor offers students personal and social support in their studies.
Education for all
City-run primary schools in Reykjavík meet each child's educational needs regardless of their abilities or status.
Support services at Árbæjarskóli
The head of support services oversees support services in the school. This person defines students' needs for specialized services in consultation with the Student-Protection Council, school administration, teachers, and counselors at the East Center, and plans responses in collaboration with parents and, when appropriate, students.
Child prosperity
The new Act on the Integration of Services in the Interest of Children’s Prosperity has come into effect. The goal is to ensure children and guardians receive the right assistance, at the right time, from the right parties.
Families and children in need of early support have guaranteed access to a prosperity liaison in the child's immediate environment, such as in preschool or primary school. The prosperity liaison offers information and guidance on services and ensures that children and guardians have unhindered access to these services.
Children, youth, and guardians can reach the school prosperity contact to request integrated services.
