The students are distributed in 16 departments in the central building and 10 separate units at mainstream schools on the territory of Skopje, which count up to 6 students per unit.

The working team is composed from 32 special educators, 4 teachers on specific subjects (music education, technical education, ICT and physical education) and professional support service that consists of psychologist, speech therapist, special educator and rehabilitator and social worker.
