Learning 

Education begins within the closest relationship with parents and expands organically to the family, the school, and the world.

• Mirroring: Only through vibrant, honest relationships where "otherness" is lived respectfully do autistic children learn to recognize themselves. They realize: "This is me, that is you – we are different, we wouldn't make the same decisions, but that is okay."

• Respect: Only where "otherness" is lovingly respected can the trust emerge to shape and engage with the world.

• Sensitivity: Autistic people perceive the world intensely and differently. This intensity of perception is a treasure, not a deficit. It requires empathy, not correction.

• Individual Intelligence: Intelligence unfolds through the gift of empathy. We recognize the individual abilities that children bring with them and allow space for their own way of development.

• Role Models: Adults are guides. In an atmosphere of security (regulation of stimuli, opportunities for rest, access to stimming and technology, honest affection...), children develop resilience and a sense of responsibility.

• Creativity: When the foundation is stable, free development processes emerge. Learning occurs through inspiration and collaborative problem-solving – with goals that evolve from the process itself.

Accessible and stimulus-regulated conditions are the key to well-being. Stress and sensory pressure block development.

• Self-Efficacy: The child decides for themselves which challenge is appropriate. Growth happens through curiosity about the world, not by enduring barriers.

• Shared Attention: The undivided presence of parents – whether observing a raindrop or making music together – is the foundation for the security to turn towards something new.

School should be an expedition to "grasp the world."

• Individual Learning Paths: Whether it’s an intuitive understanding of numbers or photographic thinking – rigid methods often destroy natural talents.

• Topic-Centered Discovery: A topic (e.g., letters) is explored as a class with a shared focus. Enthusiasm for the subject connects the children and carries the individual through the learning process.

• Fear-Free Feedback: Grades are merely points of orientation. As soon as they create fear or pressure, brain development is inhibited.
