Treatment Center

I don’t know Essen so I can’t give any specific information. I would think that you would need to contact the local school convenient to where you live and inform them of the situation. I would assume they will make some kind of evaluation to know what is best for your child. Possibly they will suggest another school that is better equipped to give her the best opportunities. There are of course public run school for special needs children if they are deemed to be better off there than in a normal school. One should anyway look for a family physician as soon as possible. Possibly through them one might also get referred for evaluation for any needed treatments.

But I don’t understand why you post this question since you already asked this before and got extensive answers from me listing all of the special schools in Essen. I am giving a link to the thread.

Hi Tom,

Thank you for your reply.

Actually, if you read my post carefully, you will see that my question was about centers where my child can get treatment outside school hours, as opposed to the best suitable school for her which was the subject of my previous post and to which you had kindly answered and sent me the links.

Anyways, thanks again for the info.

Maybe this LINK might be of help?

OK. But I think you first need to find out the basics like having a proper evaluation and seeing what school is recommended. I think the people involved with such basic care will be the best qualified to suggest what additional treatment(s) might be needed and where to get them. It’s commendable to see parents concerned about their kids and trying to prepare as well as possible. But sometimes one needs to go one step at a time. In the meantime, like for any family moving to a new country, one should be trying to learn about the country, culture and language as much as possible.
