Curative education
What is curative education
Curative education has been around for a very long time and has old roots in history.
Since this is also the case in Germany, a fixed system has developed over the decades that is offered from day care centers to residential groups.
For people who cannot live alone and there is no other form of therapy or treatment, this is a good option.
The important basic idea of curative education, the "holistic", means:
Not only disabilities or difficult conditions and their elimination should be the subject of curative education.
From the curative pedagogical point of view, the whole person (with his abilities, problems and resources as well as his social environment) is to be considered and included in the processing and solving of problems.
In this way, all the senses are addressed and this leads to new impulses and motivations.
Curative education and behavioral therapy are not mutually exclusive when used correctly and can optimally work together (in individual hours) to achieve the best possible results for the person concerned.
