Montessori Therapy

What is the basis of Montessori Therapy?

Montessori Therapy focuses on the child's personality, its integrated development and its social environment.

The motto of Montessori Therapy is: "Help me to do it myself.“

What is the treatment concept?

Montessori Therapy is carried out as  development therapy with special materials. It takes the form of advice, guidance, individual therapy and therapy in small groups.

After extensive diagnostics and in discussion with you as the parents, your child's doctor and psychologist will decide whether to prescribe Montessori Therapy. The course and success of the therapy are documented in interdisciplinary collaboration within the kbo-Kinderzentrum München.

What is the goal of Montessori Therapy?

The goal of Montessori Therapy in the kbo-Kinderzentrum München is to stimulate the child in the development and integration of sensory, motor, cognitive and socio-emotional skills and abilities. This is supported by the "Prepared  Environment", the classic Montessori materials and adaptions, the supplementary matrials and the Montessori therapists.

Important for the success of the therapy

Working with parents is an important, essential part of Montessori Therapy. Basically, your presence during therapy is encouraged.

After the therapy session, there will be an opportunity for you to ask questions. The therapist will point out the achievements, successes and progress made by your child. He or she will explained how you can integrate these skills into everyday life at home and how to encourage and expand them. Your active involvement is required here.

As parents, you should reward your child with praise and appreciation from the start.

If you have any questions or difficulties or feel uncertain about anything, you can contact your Montessori therapist in confidence.

Regular therapy units are crucial for the success of Montessori Therapy. We therefore request that you attend the agreed appointments and only cancel in exceptional cases.
