The School Counseling Team supports students on their path to school readiness. The team works closely with the school's committees, working groups, and leadership to actively contribute to inclusion, prevention, and communication as part of school development. The team currently consists of two psychologists, a special education teacher, and a social worker. The focus is on emotional-social development, including anxiety, separation anxiety, disruptive behavior, eating disorders, and fears, as well as concentration difficulties (ADHD), stress management and self-care, and challenging family dynamics (such as divorce and bereavement). School social work provides counseling and support to students, teachers, and parents; mediation and conflict resolution; and project work on topics such as violence, addiction, love, sexuality and relationships; and conflict resolution activities.
Preventive small-group support and diagnostic assessment are provided in grades 1 and 2. Counseling and support are available for literacy development and dyslexia (LRS) for students, teachers, and parents. Dyskalkulie (dyscalculia) is addressed through targeted support. Autism spectrum and other special educational needs are accommodated.
