Hi,

We are considering moving to Shanghai and have a child with Downs' Syndrome.

Does anyone have experience in educating a child with SEN in Shanghai or elsewhere in China?

We contacted the British International School in Shanghai who were unable to help directly. They did suggest that we could employ a "helper" for him (similar to the arrangement in UK). So my second question is - if we needed to recruit a helper for our son with good English skills and experience in this area, how may we go about it?

Thanks for any feedback

Jane
