Questions about this service

What you should know beforehand

For a mental health disability – such as autism or ADHD – at the youth welfare office (Jugendamt). For an intellectual or physical disability at the integration assistance agency, usually the social welfare office (Sozialamt). We advise you and guide you through the application.

We agree the tasks with you and the school and look for a support worker who suits your child. After that, we observe in class, hold regular review meetings and stay in touch with the school and the authorities.

As well as the head of department, we have an education professional who looks after cooperation with parents. So you don’t have to sort everything out through the school support worker.

Next step

Call us if you don’t know what to do next.

We are happy to advise you and also help with the application.
