Inpatient treatment of communication disorders

Dear Parents,
Your child is scheduled for in-patient intensive speech therapy or hearing diagnostics and, if necessary, hearing aid fitting. We would like to extend a warm welcome to you and your child.
After a detailed anamnesis interview, we carry out comprehensive examinations of our "language children". We assess speech, language, hearing, intelligence, fine motor skills, and visual and auditory perception. Afterwards, an individual treatment plan is created and the therapy can begin.
As a rule, three stays are planned for diagnostics and intensive speech therapy.

Station

• children's ward (14 children): Building 1 01, 6th floor
• children with hearing and speech impairments spend their stay alone on the ward from their 5th birthday
• accommodation in multi-bed dormitories
• care of patients without an accompanying person in the group room during the therapy-free period
• daily attendance from 5.30-18.30 is very important
• infants, toddlers, as well as impaired persons are admitted with an accompanying person; mother/father-child rooms are available for this purpose

Group room / Children's room

• creation of a structured daily routine with recurring rituals
• integral promotion
• resource-oriented basic work complementary to therapy (corrective feedback, use of child-appropriate play materials)
• stress- and anxiety-free atmosphere
• strengthening self-confidence
• conflict management/social competence
• parental talks and counselling for better coping of everyday life

Medical tasks

• medical history
• physical examinations
• planning of further measures

Focal points of speech therapy

• improving auditory perception
• hearing training after cochlear / hearing implant fitting
• advice and tips for parents

Audiological diagnostics / therapy

• extensive hearing tests to examine the hearing, the auditory processing and perception
• fitting of hearing aids with state-of-the-art technology and the latest findings in children's hearing aid care
• fitting and follow-up of cochlear hearing implants
• counselling and instruction of parents and children in the use of hearing aids or cochlear/hearing implants

Focal points of perception therapy

• developmental diagnostics, if necessary
• therapy content oriented towards the strengths and weaknesses of your child
• behavioural observation

Psychological diagnostics / counselling
As a rule, the children presented to us (from the age of 4) also undergo a psychological testing of cognitive development. In addition, there is the possibility of targeted behavioural observation. The results and the resulting conclusions for further funding are explained and your questions can be adressed.
