Alva consultation at Kalliomaa School ends
Since 2018, the Tuusula municipal hospital school, Kalliomaa School, has been offering multidisciplinary hospital school consultation services to schools and pupils in the Tuusula, Nurmijärvi, Järvenpää and Pornainen areas. Consultation assistance has been provided by a team consisting of three special education teachers, an occupational therapist, a psychiatric nurse and a school social worker. Due to savings in the welfare sector, Keusote will no longer offer the services of an occupational therapist, nurse or social worker for consultation. The multidisciplinary Alva consultation will therefore end on 31 May 2025.
The Basic Education Act will change on 1 August 2025. In future, all pre-school and basic education pupils in Finland will be entitled to consultative hospital education services regardless of their municipality of residence. Kalliomaa School will continue to offer consultation services to a wider municipal area with the help of three special education teachers. The statutory hospital education consultation service, which will come into force in the autumn, consists of consultation services provided by Kalliomaa School’s special education teachers to teachers in the area. Up-to-date instructions will be posted on the Kalliomaa School website in August. The consultative hospital teaching service focuses on strengthening the support measures and network cooperation of the school’s own pre-school unit or school.
