In Luxembourg, the Government makes sure that every child of compulsory age, who cannot follow mainstream or special education because of his/her intellectual, emotional, sensory and motor difficulties and who has special educational needs, gets:
- appropriate instruction in a centre or institution of Special Education or

- individual help and support by a service of Special Education in mainstream pre-primary, primary or post-primary schools.

According to their educational needs, the following support structures of Special Education have been created:

a) Pre-primary and primary centres and centres of professional training;

b) Children homes, boarding-schools and reception houses;

c) Observation classes and centres;

d) Ambulatory resource centres;

e) Ambulatory education services;

f) Multidisciplinary medico-psycho-pedagogical services.

The law of June 28th, 1994 states that children with motor, sensory, intellectual and emotional difficulties of compulsory school age may be integrated into mainstream schools. In accordance with this law, the "Service Ré-Educatif Ambulatoire" (SREA) was created. In agreement with the inspector of primary education and the local authorities or the concerned director of post-primary schools, the SREA organises support for these children, who have special needs and require specific pedagogical help during their school time.
