What is Special Needs Education?

Special Education is for students aged 3 to 21 with functional diversity as a result of intellectual and/or developmental disabilities who have specific educational support needs by significantly adapting the ordinary syllabus.

Who for?

The School is attended by students with special educational needs linked to permanent intellectual disability who reside in the capital of Valladolid and its province. Students, from 3 to 21 years of age, have a wide range of characteristics and vastly different educational needs.

The Centre

The Public-Private Special Needs School “El Pino de Obregón”, is run by The People Foundation Valladolid, and is attended by students aged 3 to 21 who have special and lifelong educational needs, linked to personal disability conditions: psychological, motor and sensory; and that require all areas of the Syllabus to be significantly adapted.

It is governed by an educational agreement with the Department of Education of the Government of Castile and León.

The school is attended by students from 3 to 21 years of age and offers the following:

Educational stages

Pre-school eduction: from 3 to 6 years for students with special educational needs. Private-Public.
ESO (Obligatory Secondary Education): 6-16 (includes Primary Education and Obligatory Secondary Education). Private-Public.
Post-Obligatory Education: 16-21 (currently developing the Transition to Adulthood Programme) Private-Public.

Where to find us

The El Pino de Obregón Special Education School has two centres. Both follow the Combined Schooling model. The school has been committed to this type of education for many years, in which the student attends the Special Education School as well as the Ordinary School.

Tórtola School

This is located in the Pajarillos neighbourhood. It is a small school where it is easier to forge relationships and share mutual knowledge.

Being located in a neighbourhood with all the services this entails fosters participation and autonomy, as well as social insertion.

The students who attend school come from ordinary primary and secondary schools, from the age of 12 all the way up to 21.

Our students all come from Ordinary Primary and Obligatory Secondary Education (ESO). They can enrol in our school from the age of 12 for their Compulsory Basic Education (EBO). They go on to enrol in the Transition to Adulthood Programme.

All students require extensive or intermittent support needs brought about by their intellectual disability. Furthermore, in some cases, they may even have some other associated disability. This school has a bathroom adapted in accordance with current regulations and a platform that provides access to both floors (semi-basement and mezzanine).

Combined schooling

This type of schooling acts as a receiving institution for students from Integration Schools (Primary and Obligatory Secondary Education).
