Brief facts about Hospital School Vienna
Hospital School Vienna / Heilstättenschule Wien
Its areas of activity include hospital classes, home teaching, mobile teams, and basic classes. The aim of the education is to enable the best possible participation and support for the students according to their individual capabilities, as well as facilitating their school reintegration.
Teaching in Clinics (School in hospital
, Pedagogy for illness and impairment):
Children and adolescents admitted to a hospital for outpatient, partial, or full inpatient treatment have the right to educational support. The focus is on their mental or physical health. If necessary, home teaching is organized. For non-compulsory school-age students, there is cooperation with HIS (Higher School in the Hospital).
It is provided based on medical recommendation when no or only limited attendance at school is possible. The teaching takes place in close collaboration with the regular school, wherever the students are located (at home, in a ward, outpatient clinic, day clinic).
Mobile Teams:
They support students with hearing, visual, and motor impairments who are inclusively educated in Vienna's statutory schools. Additional areas of work include workplace adaptation, provision of aids, and the preparation of assessments to determine the support needs.
Basic Support Classes:
Here, students with severe multiple impairments are taught in small groups. Methods such as Basic Stimulation and Care, Supported Communication, Sensory Integration, Kinaesthetics, Motor Pedagogy, and Snoezelen are utilized.
Digital participation:
Due to the pandemic, the issue of children being able to participate in lessons without being present in the classroom has come to the attention of the general public. In the context of the Heilstättenschule, teaching via electronic aids has long been an integral part of everyday life.
For children who are unable to go to school due to chronic illnesses, it is an important support option for staying connected to the classmates. It is not only the lessons that are hindered by the illness; social contacts are also greatly reduced by the isolation. These technical tools are therefore elementary means of socio-emotional inclusion of the sick pupils in the classroom, an important component both during recovery and when re-entering school life at the main school.
Avatar / telepresence robot:
In spring 2019, the first avatar in Austria was successfully implemented at the Heilstättenschule Wien by Monika Fuchs-Brantl, who had learnt about this telepresence robot as part of an Erasmus+ project in the Netherlands.
