Learning from and with others
In our group programs, children and adolescents often find a completely different way of accessing themselves. They see that they are not alone with their “problem” and learn a great deal through self-observation and observation of others. We currently offer two group programs for occupational therapy for children in Düsseldorf: Marburg Concentration Training (MKT) and the Behavior Control Group for different age groups.

- show deficits in perception, language, concentration, motor skills, or motivation,
- show signs of attention deficit disorder,

Behavioral control group / Behavioral training
- Integration into the group – arriving, observing the other children, and initial experiences in a new social situation.
