Family from Rangsdorf fights for help for their disabled son Paul

Rangsdorf, Deutschland - In Rangsdorf, the situation for the S. family becomes increasingly dramatic. Her severely disabled son Paul, who is scheduled to attend the special school in September, urgently needs support in order to master school visit. Six -year -old Paul suffers from spasticity, cannot run independently, speak, eat or write, which makes his school integration a special challenge. Care reports recommend registering it at a special school that meets the requirements of his needs. The parents have already registered Paul to the Oberlinschule Potsdam, which offers a childcare key from two helpers for eight children. Here a team of school attendants would be indispensable for Paul to offer him the necessary help.

But the social welfare office Teltow-Fläming has for the time being rejected the requested individual aid and assumes that the school alone can cover all needs. The family has already objected several times - so far without success. In contrast, Paul's mother fears that without the urgently needed support there is a risk of refusal to school. In a social group, parents of disabled children discuss similar problems that often indicate the inadequate offer of help in the region.

criticism of the social welfare office and legal steps

The disabled representative of Brandenburg, Janny Armbruster, has acted actively and criticizes the social workers' approach. She recommends taking legal steps to help the S. family with their concerns. Strangers make it clear that similar cases are better treated in other counties, which shows the inequalities in the care of disabled children. A proposal is to submit an action to act to advance the matter. The family plans to contact District Administrator Kornelia Wehlan to draw attention to their precarious situation.

school companion: indispensable support for children with special needs

Following a nationwide trend, school attendants are becoming increasingly important for the integration of children with special educational needs. This support ensures that many children can participate in general schools despite their restrictions and thus promote inclusion. School attendants who work in the area of ​​integration assistance take on a central role. However, the need for skilled workers is high. The association Inclusion Bavaria describes that there are often no uniform qualifications for school attendants, which makes the chance of financial support in class further difficult.

An example of this is the 13-year-old Lukas from Greifswald, who is supported by a school attendant. In the case of emotional fluctuations or slight attitudes, the school attendant has the task of supporting him and promoting his integration into class. According to Christine Mangel, a member of the comprehensive school management of a school, school supports are essential for teachers to ensure the learning success of all children. Nevertheless, the lack of specialists for special education is noticeable, which further increases the requirements for school accompaniment.

Overall, it becomes clear that the challenges to ensure high -quality support for children with disabilities in schools in the Rangsdorf region and beyond are high. The S. family hopes that their efforts to find individual aid for their son Paul will be heard as quickly as possible in order to give him the decisive access to education.
