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.
