Are you a teacher or I-EBS/specialised support teacher who would like specific advice on learning difficulties or disorders? Are you a member of a support team for pupils with special educational needs (SEN / ESEB) who is often faced with challenging situations in class, due to an attention deficit disorder for example? Are you a class teacher looking to strengthen cooperation with families to better support students?
Upon request, we provide customised support and counselling services to meet the specific needs of all school professionals. This includes:
Clearing Service
The CDA’s Clearing Service is designed to assist members of the support teams for pupils with special educational needs (ESEB/SEN), working with students with special educational needs in both primary and secondary education.
It is a space for professionals to exchange information with the aim of:
- Collaborate with experts in the field of learning difficulties/disorders to clarify diagnostic questions
- Streamline the process of obtaining guidance on student referrals to the CDA, in an informal setting
- Provide timely feedback to professionals and, consequently, families.
The Clearing Service provides multiple advantages, including more timely support for students, more efficient use of resources, and strengthened coordination between regional and national services.
To request access to this service, please get in touch via email (info@cc-cda.lu) or by phone (247-65123) and ask for the Clearing form.
Specialist Advice Service
The CDA’s Specialist Advice Service is directed towards primary and secondary school teachers, specialised teachers for pupils with special educational needs (I-EBS, support teachers), members of support teams for pupils with special educational needs (ESEB/SEN) in primary and secondary schools and staff from competence centres.
The Specialist Advice Service provides a platform for professionals to discuss topics such as:
- Diagnostic criteria and procedures
- Neuropsychological functioning
- Mathematical abilities
- Reading and writing skills
- Motor skills
- Assistive technologies and compensatory tools
- Current research and resources (e.g., specialist literature, teaching materials, standardised tests, etc.)
- Provide advice around learning disorders and appropriate support measures
- Create a closer collaboration and increased responsiveness
- Provide timely feedback to professionals and, consequently, students with additional needs
To request access to this service, contact us by email (info@cc-cda.lu), with a detailed description of the topic you would like to discuss. Please note that Specialist Advice Service is given on a specific topic and not on a student’s file.
Counselling and Guidance Service
The CDA’s Counselling and Guidance Service is directed towards primary and secondary school teachers and support staff as well as competence centres.
- Gain a multi-professional perspective on a student’s file
- Minimize procedural workload
- Ensure the most effective support for the student
To access this service, the Inclusion Commission (CI)/support team must submit a student’s file to the CDA via email (info@cc-cda.lu). To ensure efficient processing, the file should include the following documents:
- A chronological record of the support measures implemented to date
- A cognitive assessment
