Integration assistance for emotionally disabled children and adolescents
This page was translated from German using artificial intelligence. The translation may contain errors or inaccuracies. In case of doubt, the German original version prevails.
Children and adolescents as well as young adults (up to the age of 21 in general, or in exceptional cases up to the age of 26) with a diagnosis such as autism, ADHD/ADD, dyscalculia (math weakness), dyslexia (reading and writing weakness), depression, attachment disorders, or other mental illnesses are often unable to shape their lives in the same way as children without these limitations. This means these children, adolescents, and young adults have a participation impairment.
The local youth welfare office can support these children, adolescents, and young adults.
There are specific aids called integration assistance in accordance with § 35a SGB VIII.
To support children at school, in the family, and/or in everyday life.
Further information can be found in our flyer, from the responsible caseworker, or at the LWL.
