A good  way of exploring some of the most important information in the special education field in Austria is to look at a number of its key education websites. In the SNE Contacts section of this website are various links to other organisations.
Below we have identified what we think are some of the most important sites:
     
The first recommended site is the official website of the Ministry. Here you will find important basic information about the Austrian school system and special needs education.  http://www.bmbwk.gv.at
 
Detailed information is provided by "Cisonline". Its website http://www.cisonline.at/
offers interesting links for teachers and their work with disabled people/children as well as a link to a search engine for teachers with Austrian literature, links for ICT users in the classroom, diverse curricula, materials, guidlines and brochures.

 

Detailed information is provided by "Cisonline" and "schule.at"  These  websites http://www.cisonline.at/, http://www.schule.at/gegenstand/sonderpaed/ offer interesting links for teachers and their work with disabled people/children as well as latest news about SEN in Austria, links for ICT users in the classroom, diverse curricula, materials, guidlines and brochures.
