Consultative hospital teaching expands – support available to all municipalities in the Central and Eastern Uusimaa region
The reform of legislation on learning support will also bring changes to the consultative activities of hospital education. With the reform, all pupils and teaching staff in all municipalities will have the opportunity to receive expert support for hospital education from 1 August 2025, regardless of the pupilu0026#x27;s place of residence. The aim is to increase equality in the service.
In the Central and Eastern Uusimaa welfare areas, consultative hospital teaching services are provided by Kalliomaa School, which is maintained by the municipality of Tuusula and located in Järvenpää. The municipalities have received state funding to purchase the service.
The consultative hospital teaching service provides teachers and other staff with expert support to promote children’s and pupils’ learning and participation in teaching. The support focuses on the planning and implementation of preventive and corrective measures in the school or pre-school group.
Consultation can be offered, for example, in situations where the pupil’s challenges relate to behaviour, emotional life, psychological or somatic symptoms, bullying and school attendance, or being at risk of exclusion. Early cooperation helps prevent problems from accumulating and supports the pupil in keeping up with their studies. Timely support can promote participation in pre-school education and success in school. Consultations at Kalliomaa School are provided by special education teachers Reija Laine, Hanna Leino and Taija Isokorpi.
Further information about the service and contact details can be found on the Kalliomaa School website.
