Suitability
Neurodiverse profiles we support.
Every child is different — this list is a guide, not a gate. Many of the children we work with have overlapping profiles, and some are still going through assessment. If you're weighing a homeschool in Bali, an alternative school in Ubud or a neurodiverse-friendly setting, this list is a good place to start.

Honest boundaries
Where Winta's Place may not be the right fit.
We share this openly, with care. Being honest about what we can and can't safely support helps every family find the right environment for their child — whether that's with us or somewhere better suited. If you're not sure, our admissions team will talk it through with you.
- 24-hour nursing or complex medical care.
- Significant physical disabilities requiring specialised accessibility or equipment.
- Severe or profound intellectual disability.
- Non-verbal children who require intensive alternative communication support (unless the programme is expanded in the future).
- Children whose behaviour presents an ongoing serious safety risk to themselves, other children or staff.

Not sure yet?
If you're not sure whether Winta's Place is the right fit, we'd love to have a conversation.
Many children don't fit neatly into one diagnosis — or may still be going through assessment. Rather than self-excluding based on a list, come and talk with us. We'll listen, share honestly, and help you work out whether our environment is right for your child.
