Starting September 1, 2026, the Ministry of Education will implement updated regulations for public psychological-pedagogical counseling centers, introducing mandatory functional assessments and formal procedural changes for issuing disability certifications. <\/p>\n
New provisions under the Ministry of Education\u2019s regulation regarding issuing certifications and opinions will take effect on September 1, 2026. The reform standardizes diagnostic procedures and reinforces the collaboration between counseling centers, educational institutions, and parents by emphasizing child functional documentation.<\/p>\n
Parents must now ensure that applications are signed by both legal guardians, with special declarations required for single-signature submissions. While medical certificates serve as supplementary documentation, the core of the special education decision will rely on the center’s own diagnosis.<\/p>\n
Counseling center teams will now be more adaptable, with physicians participating only when medical documentation is submitted. Furthermore, parents or adult students may request the presence of additional specialists, including intercultural assistants, sign language interpreters, or psychiatry experts, who may join meetings remotely.<\/p>\n
A key change requires schools and preschools to provide mandatory functional assessments of the student to the counseling center. This document must detail both the child’s challenges and their strengths, as well as the effectiveness of prior psychological-pedagogical support to ensure precise diagnostic alignment.<\/p>\n
To accelerate the support process, certifications will be transmitted directly from counseling centers to the relevant educational institutions, provided explicit parental consent is granted. Additionally, the deadline for a regional education curator to review appeals against team decisions has been extended from 14 to 21 days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
