Frequently asked questions
We not only help with questions and concerns about education, but also when there are tensions within the family. For example: money problems, arguments at home, unemployment, etc. We like to listen to your story and then make a plan together, in which we can include all the things that are going on in your family.
The neighbourhood team staff who work together with special education have a lot of experience with pupils with a physical or mental disability. As a result, they can offer you and your child good support.
We advise you and your school to make an appointment with the neighborhood team in your area as soon as possible. We work together with you, your child's school, the truancy officer, the youth doctor, and other professionals to help your child return to school. You are not alone!
Yes, that is certainly possible. As a student, you can contact the neighborhood team in your district. Check the study page for more information.
As a neighborhood team, we support not only parents and children, but also teachers, mentors, and care coordinators. Together, we ensure that children, adolescents, and young adults can develop well. Do you have concerns about a student and would you like someone to think this through with you? Please contact the neighborhood team.
The assistance of the neighborhood team is free.
