Description de l'organisation

Vilnius Silo Education Center is a general education school of Vilnius City Municipality, and it provides a compulsory basic special education to children with various developmental, intellectual and complex disorders. The school provides educational and psychological assistance to families, and helps the parents understand the psychosocial needs of their child and see future prospects in an appropriate light. Silo Center has 154 students from the ages of 7 to 21. As many as 91 autistic children study at the school, which is the highest number among the special schools of Vilnius.
The school successfully implements health-related (e.g. Fruit for Schools, Milk for Children, Mobile School), social (e.g. Christmas Fair of the Sapiega, exhibition of drawings in the Antakalnis Library) and vocational guidance (e.g. Educational Livestock Farming Program of the Ministry of Agriculture) projects. We have teamwork experience. Over the course of a year, we implement 10 creative and educational projects (e.g. Apple Day, Pie Day, The Week of Nordic Countries‘ Libraries).
We successfully collaborate and share our experience with several special schools in Vilnius (Viltis, Atgaja) and the Vilnius Technology Training and Rehabilitation Centre. Every year, we organise qualification development courses for the special needs teachers, psychologists and speech therapists of Vilnius working with special needs children.The school periodically carries out an internal and external audit and
