The costs of the necessary medical and curative educational services for the early detection and early promotion of handicapped and disability-threatened children are covered by the health insurance funds and the social assistance organizations as well as the youth welfare services.
People with disabilities have a legal entitlement to a so-called "personal budget", which is paid to them instead of service or in kind. This allows them to independently finance benefits that they need for daily help, and thus make their own lives. Parents of disabled children are also entitled to a personal budget. It can be used, for example, for individual help, social assistance from the youth welfare office or holiday care from the youth welfare office
