Hi NatashaP,

I moved to central Portugal when my children were 11 and 12 so I can't offer much advice on primary education although there seem to be child-carers, kindergarden's etc. My most important advice is to do lots of research and visit as many different parts of Portugal to see which area suits you and your family best. Unemployment is high in this part of Portugal too although there seems to be plenty of construction going on so as your husband is Portuguese there might be job opportunities for him but the minimum wage is pretty poor (approx 450 euros per month).

A lot of people are renting before they buy so that might be an option for you. As your children won't be in permanent schooling for a few years yet at least you have the freedom to travel around.

Can't help on the speech therapy question I'm afraid.

Good Luck,

JayC
