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.

Outside the school, pupils 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

 

Children with special gifts receive special support in schools through the Supporting Pedagogy Centers in each school. 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 ).

 

For pupils of the upper secondary school from Bremen and the region, who are gifted, interested and motivated, the University of Bremen offers an early study (www.uni-bremen.de/fruehstudium).

 

Advice on giftedness can also be found at the four Regional Counseling and Support Centers (ReBuZ) https://www.rebuz.bremen.de/startseite-1459, German Association for Highly Talented Children (DGhK eV) Regional Association of Lower Saxony / Bremen eV: DGhK Regionalverein Niedersachsen/Bremen e.V. and Aktion Hochbegabtes Kind e.V.
