Services & support

Room to grow for every child

We create autism-specific spaces for support and development for children and young people with different needs – including complex needs and additional (comorbid) conditions.

Our services

Five services, one goal: participation

01 Pre-school age
Early intervention

Based on the Bremen early therapy programme we combine highly structured therapy sessions in our rooms (approx. 70 %) with practical training in the child's familiar environment (approx. 30 %). Parents learn to apply methods directly under guidance.

02 Therapy & support
Autism-specific 1:1 support

Qualified professionals support children and young people individually in our specially equipped therapy rooms. Where needed we add support at home so that skills transfer sustainably into everyday life.

03 All types of school
Qualified school assistance

We support equal participation in school life: structuring the school day, support during breaks and crises, help with learning and concentration, and social-emotional development.

04 In small groups
Social skills training

In small groups we practise social interaction, perspective taking and problem solving – with social stories, role play and autism-specific methods.

05 For parents & caregivers
Parent coaching

We advise and support parents, relatives and caregivers in everyday life and in dealing with challenges at home, in nursery, at school and in the community – including where a diagnosis is suspected.

Flexible location
Support always follows the child's needs – in our therapy rooms, at home, at school or nursery, or directly in the child's social environment.

Four pillars of support

What we work on together

Communication & interaction

Language comprehension, expression and verbal as well as non-verbal communication. Where needed we integrate augmentative and alternative communication (AAC).

Social-emotional development

Building relationships, self- and emotion regulation and practical strategies for everyday situations.

Cognition & motor skills

Learning processes, fine and gross motor skills, attention, planning and problem solving.

Sensory & daily living skills

Sensory regulation and practical everyday skills for the greatest possible independence in familiar surroundings.
