    In the course of the activities we learned a great deal about the Slovenian system of education with the emphasis on the children with developmental difficulties.
    The Primary School Ljudevita Pivka has a mobile team of special education experts who ensure the educational support for children with developmental difficulties integrated in regular schools on a daily basis.

    After we saw a  presentation of the mobile team and their work, Mrs Katjuša Koprivnikar introduced us to the IRIS Centre from Ljubljana which specializes in the education of blind andvisu ally impaired persons.
