39 – Children and adolescents in need of care

Fact sheet no. 39

Due to a congenital illness, disability, accident or for any other reason, a need for care of children and adolescents can exist.  The families are in such cases faced with complex challenges: What are the requirements for a degree of care for children? What kind of support do children need in day care and at school? What aids or conversion measures in the domestic sphere are funded for children and adolescents with a handicap? Children and adolescents should be integrated into the help and care system as early as possible in order to promote their independence in coping with daily life and life management. The goal is to provide a personalized care to improve the living situation.
