Who finances school assistance?
The costs for a school/kindergarten assistant are covered by integration assistance according to the German Social Code (Sozialgesetzbuch - SGB). An application requires a medical examination and report which recommends participation in all regular school and educational activities. Based on this report, the responsible district youth offices determine the qualification-level required of the school assistant (assistant, qualified/pedagogical assistant, specialist) as well as how many weekly hours of assistance are covered.
The relevant funding agency depends on the type of special needs in question.
For children with physical or intellectual special needs, integration assistance is granted by the District Office of Upper Bavaria (“Bezirk Oberbayern”) In the case of developmental special needs, such as autism or a neurological disorder such as ADHD, the city of Munich youth welfare offices (“Jugendämter”) are responsible. Outside of Munich the district offices (“Landratsämter”) cover these services.
