School support in Leverkusen
Miro Sozialdienste supports children and young people with additional needs in everyday school life in Leverkusen. Each placement follows the individual need and is coordinated with the family, the school and the responsible youth welfare office.
Service area in Leverkusen
We work across the whole city of Leverkusen, with no fixed exclusion areas. We review every request individually.
- Wiesdorf
- Opladen
- Küppersteg

Alongside these districts we support children and young people in other parts of Leverkusen. For requests outside the city we assess distance, staffing capacity and framework conditions individually.
Responsible youth welfare office
Under section 35a SGB VIII, the youth welfare office at the child’s place of residence is responsible. In Leverkusen this is the Jugendamt der Stadt Leverkusen.
The youth welfare office assesses the individual need and decides on approval and scope. Parents can contact us before any approval; we explain our options and support the next steps.
Because every municipality has its own procedures and contacts, we coordinate each placement with the responsible office.
Schools in Leverkusen
Our school support addresses children and young people regardless of the school type.
- Primary schools
- Comprehensive and secondary schools
- Secondary modern and middle schools
- Grammar schools
- Special needs schools
- other suitable school settings
We support pupils at schools in various Leverkusen districts, including Lützenkirchen, Steinbüchel and Küppersteg. What matters to us is not the school type or district but the individual support need of the child or young person.

How school support works
School support is applied for through the responsible youth welfare office. Referrals also reach us directly from the office, parents or schools.
Once approved, we select a suitable professional and coordinate the start with family, school and youth welfare office. In the first help-planning or kick-off meeting we agree the assignment, goals and cooperation. The general process is described on the school support page.
