Centre for Educational Expertise De Berkenschutse

Learning and living environment De Berkenschutse

Creating an optimal learning and living environment: that is the goal of the (subject) teachers and care professionals at De Berkenschutse. As one of the three centers of the Kempenhaeghe Foundation, we offer both special and secondary special education and ambulatory educational support to various groups of students. We have all the knowledge, experience, and expertise in-house to prepare students with epilepsy, those who are chronically ill, those with severe learning difficulties, students with multiple disabilities, and students with autism for their lives after De Berkenschutse. We do this by offering a comprehensive package tailored to the needs and circumstances of the student. This includes, for example, living in a group home and guidance towards work or further study. For this, we also utilize external expertise, such as support for transitioning to regular education or a work trajectory.

At De Berkenschutse, alongside (subject) teachers and teaching assistants, care specialists, behavioral scientists, social workers, a school nurse, speech therapists, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists work together. This skilled team is part of Kempenhaeghe Foundation: the expertise center for epilepsy, sleep, neurological learning and developmental disorders, residential care, and education.
