Our participants learn to improve their skills and health condition through various focus activities in our support groups, such as a bicycle garage, a cooking group, or a support group focussing on media and photography, taking advantage of their individual interests and capabilities. Our development offerings cover the trades and creativity as well as cognitive aspects. With the help of specially modified machines, our participants learn to practice a trade independently. Training in skills like arithmetic, reading, writing, as well as general knowledge is provided through special software programmes. Using the internet and new media is, of course, also included in the range of our instructions. Here we work with modified keyboards and modern control features, such as eye control or head switches. Basal development programmes serve the needs of our participants with most severe and multiple disabilities. The interests as well as the cognitive and motor abilities of our participants determine which activities and groups are selected. In basal development, we also work with specially furnished rooms that address all senses. This development format enables our participants to get involved in everyday life based on their own abilities, which is why, for example, music and several devices for communication initiation play as big a role as a recognisable day structure.
