Our program aims to ensure inclusivity and equality - allowing all students equal opportunities in terms of learning pathways. For children with special educational needs, it is the job of a team of specialists, including therapists, psychologists and teachers, to reduce and remove barriers based on well-planned inclusive therapeutic programs.

Psychological assistance

Psychological assistance is a set of activities aimed at supporting the holistic development of students, their strengths and talents. It includes, among others, psychoeducation, psychoprophylaxis, providing support in difficult or conflict situations, individual meetings and consultations with students and parents.

Pedagogical therapy

Pedagogical therapy is a process of long-term interventions, the primary goal of which is to level the difficulties, causes and symptoms of school failures. Therapeutic measures are aimed at compensating for psychomotor disorders, stimulating the overall development of the child, in particular, in the cognitive, communicative and emotional-social spheres.

Sensory integration

Sensory integration (SI) is the ability to classify and understand information and stimuli provided from the body, but also from the environment through the senses. In sensory integration disorders, there are hypersensitivity or sub-sensitivity of the senses, which affects a child's overall development, including impeding concentration and the learning process. For this reason, it is so important to diagnose and undertake Sensory Integration therapy as early and reliably as possible.

Speech therapy classes

Speech therapy care includes, among other things, diagnosis, prevention, conducting individual and group speech therapy, depending on the identified needs, and supporting teachers and parents in activities to improve the child's speech apparatus.

Art therapy

The purpose of art therapy is to use art in a broad sense for therapeutic purposes. Art therapy undoubtedly develops emotional sensitivity, helps overcome fear and other pejorative feelings. In addition to showing beauty, developing creativity and imagination, art teaches concentration of attention and opens to contact with other people.

Hand therapy

It is mainly aimed at children and adults who have lost dexterity. Hand therapy is usually a collaboration between a physiotherapist, a speech therapist, a psychologist, an educator and a sensory integration therapist.
