Support for Children – Special Education-Therapeutic Day Group
The remedial educational-therapeutic day group offers a semi-inpatient day group for children aged 6 to 14 years. The aim is, together with the family and the social environment, to reduce educational difficulties and behavioral problems in children, to compensate for developmental and educational deficits, to strengthen resources and to develop new perspectives for action.
Our basic principle is
“As much freedom of decision and action as individually possible – as many limits and rules as necessary.”
Who is the help for?
Our therapeutic day group is aimed at school children aged 6 to 14 (admission age 6 to 12) with problems in social-emotional (psychosocial) development and their guardians from the Hameln-Pyrmont district. The family reference system and the wider social environment are intensively involved in the work.
You can contact us if:
Your child has difficulties in interacting with other children and adults.
Your child has behavioral problems at school (e.g. ADHD) and is at risk of being sent to a special school.
Challenges arise with your child that are accompanied by performance deficits and other learning difficulties.
