School:

Disabled students are entitled to special needs education at school.

Children with difficulties in learning, language and behavior are taught in general education schools together with children without disabilities. All schoolchildren and their parents receive support at the Supporting Pedagogy Centers (ZuP), which are integrated into the schools. The specialists in the ZuP are responsible for the support of all pupils of a school. The tasks include the support of pupils in specific individual learning situations such as:

• Support in case of a reading-spelling weakness

• Support in case of dyscalculia

• Support of reading (for example, intensive reading)

• Support of special talents (gifted students, etc.)

• Special educational needs (seeing, hearing, motor development, promotion of perception    

  and development, learning, language, emotional-social development)

• language training

 

Outside the school, students and parents receive counseling, support and diagnostics on all issues related to learning development, social-emotional development, transitions, school issues and special needs education in the four Regional Counseling and Support Centers (ReBuZ) https://www.rebuz.bremen.de/startseite-1459

Secondary schools in Bremen with special support for highly gifted pupils are the Ökumenische Gymnasium zu Bremen ( ÖG),  Alte Gymnasium Bremen ( AG) and Oberschule Koblenzer Strasse ( OSK ).
