Development perspective plan center.

What is a development perspective plan center?

A development perspective plan center is a temporary education place for students who get stuck at their own school. The goal is always to ensure that a student can return to a suitable place. Preferably their own school.

A development perspective plan center offers:

• extra tailored support
• smaller groups
• calm and structure
• support with behavior, emotions, learning or planning
• help to reconnect with school.

The development perspective plan center falls under the partnership tailored education. The support is temporary and placement lasts as short as possible.

For which students is a development perspective plan center intended?

A development perspective plan center is for students for whom the education is (temporarily) no longer working. For example because:

• school and student no longer understand each other;
• there are problems with behavior or emotions;
• the student struggles with social situations or stimuli;
• the student has not been able to keep up for a long time;
• the student is out‑of‑school children.

A development perspective plan center is intended as a temporary step. It is a place where calm, structure and support are central. The goal is always that a student can continue later in a suitable place.

When is a development perspective plan center deployed?

A development perspective plan center is only deployed when it is clear that support at the current school is not enough. This usually happens in the following cases:

• after school and parents have looked multiple times together at what is possible;
• if extra support at school is not enough;
• if the risk of out‑of‑school children is high;
• if the cooperation between school, parents and student breaks down;
• if the partnership tailored education advises that a temporary other place is needed.

The partnership tailored education ultimately decides about a placement. School and parents are always involved in this.

How does placement at a development perspective plan center work?

1. School and parents talk together about the problems and which help has been tried so far.
2. School asks the partnership tailored education to look along.
3. The partnership tailored education decides if a development perspective plan center is the right step.
4. You as a parent are always involved in this process and stay informed about the steps.
5. At the development perspective plan center your child gets tailored support.
6. It is regularly checked how it is going and when your child can return to the old school or another suitable place.
