At the Lootus Õnnele Center, special education services are available to both children and adults who need individualized support in learning, development, and daily functioning. The main goal is to strengthen cognitive, communication, academic, and social skills through personalized methods and structured teaching strategies.

Assessment and Individual Planning

Services begin with an evaluation of the client’s educational and developmental level. The special education teacher identifies strengths and areas for improvement and creates an individualized education plan (IEP). Each plan is tailored to meet the person’s unique needs, abilities, and goals.

Development and Implementation of Teaching Methods

A variety of learning strategies and tools are used to support each client’s progress. These may include visual aids, step-by-step instructions, games, logic tasks, and hands-on activities designed to make learning more effective and engaging.

Support for Behavior and Emotional Regulation

When needed, the teacher helps clients address behavioral challenges, improve self-control, and build constructive responses to difficult situations. Practical guidance is provided for conflict resolution and adapting to school, work, or social environments.

Orientation and Mobility Training

Clients with visual or sensory impairments receive support in learning safe movement, navigation, and – when necessary – Braille literacy. These skills increase independence and improve confidence in everyday life.

Collaboration with Other Specialists

The special education teacher works closely with psychologists, speech therapists, occupational specialists, and other team members. This interdisciplinary approach ensures consistent, holistic support for each client across all areas of need.

Family and Caregiver Guidance

Parents, guardians, and other caregivers receive consultation and training to help them better support the client’s development at home. The goal is to build a supportive environment where learning and daily functioning can thrive.

Flexible and Client-Centered Approach

All services are adapted to suit the client’s evolving needs, learning pace, and individual circumstances. Teaching plans are reviewed and adjusted regularly to align with progress and priorities. Our mission is to help every individual unlock their full potential – in education, at work, and in everyday life.
