Thank you, Lisa!

Hi, Natalie, sorry, i just saw the message yesterday. Thank you for reading it and no, unfortunately i am not living anymore in Malta. Being a single mom, i couldnt survive there, financially speaking and as you read, i couldnt have a proper job because i had to look for my child all the time. Now we live a tragi-comedy because i have a child who learned to speak in english and we went back to our country, Romania, that has only one national language: romanian. Now, i am afraid that my answer will not be a good one for you. It is based, of course, on my experience there (so, it will be kind of subjective) but also the experience of many parents i have met there during all 4 years i spent there.

I dont know exactly what kind of issues your son is having but from what i have noticed and experienced, the system in Malta is not yet prepared to really cater for these children (no matter what people say).

But if you really need to move in Malta i would suggest a private school if you can afford. They pay a lot more of attention and you are treated like a human. Maybe that is the world nowadays: you receive better service if you pay, which is not fair at all but that is how it is.

My son had multiple issues and for sure the idea of putting him in a state school wasnt good at all, and i regret i didnt follow my instinct. If you would need a support assistant, that will be a problem as well.

You may contact me via email: miraburhuc@gmail.com and i would be very happy to give you more details if you want so you can take the best decision in this regard.

Hugs!

our son is 8 he has adhd and other things we are thinking of moving to Malta but I am a little worried regarding schooling for him and help he can get
how do u think this will be for us as well will we get the help we need

Hope u can help me

Hi, Sarah, thank you so much for your words! I am so happy that your experience brought to you something good for your child in the end. Wish him all the very best and may him have all the love needed to grow up strong and happy! Hugs!

Thank you, Lilia and yes, the youtube video is inspiring, appreciate! My best wishes!

Glad to hear from you . Oh appreciate your comments, it was a pleasure getting to know your boy and I learnt a lot from him. I work in a children’s nursery , it’s what I love doing and it’s so much fun being around children ! Take care and all the best !

Hi, Theresian, thank you so much for your words and you know that we really treasured you a lot!The short time we had you at the private school was wonderful but unfortunately the whole system has to work together to create the right Inclusion. And there is still a lot of work. I believe that someone has to rethink how the education for children with special needs is given. Unfortunately people like you are rare in the educational system and through Learning Support Assistants. Hope that where you are right now is better and you are appreciated for your warmth and dedication! Best wishes!
