Centrum Terapii Dyskalkulii w Dreźnie (ZTR Dresden)

About the company

Centrum Terapii Dyskalkulii w Dreźnie (ZTR Dresden) is a specialized center supporting children, adolescents, and their families in difficulties related to learning mathematics. The focus of its activities is on understanding the causes of number problems, understanding arithmetic operations and mathematical concepts, and gradually building the competencies needed for daily school and life functioning. Therapeutic work is conducted in Polish, which facilitates communication and allows for free discussion of school experiences and emotions related to difficulties.

Services

The center primarily offers dyslexia therapy, which is difficulty learning mathematics with a neurodevelopmental basis. Treatment involves working on understanding numbers, digits, and basic arithmetic operations, often through games, activities, and exercises tailored to the child's abilities. During sessions, emphasis is placed on developing mathematical skills as well as strengthening self-esteem and building mental resilience. The support process involves gradually catching up on educational gaps, adjusting work pace, and using specific examples and visual aids, which is typical for dyslexia therapy.

For whom

The offer is aimed at children and adolescents who experience persistent difficulties in learning mathematics - regardless of whether they already have a formal diagnosis of dyslexia. Parents can also benefit from the therapy, as they can learn to better understand their child's educational problems and how to support them at home in a calm and systematic way. Cooperation with the center may be particularly helpful for Polish-speaking families living in Dresden and its surroundings who are looking for specialized support in the Polish language.

Therapeutic approach

Treatment is conducted in an atmosphere of safety and acceptance, so that the child can work without fear or excessive pressure. Sessions are tailored to the individual learning pace, style of knowledge acquisition, and current emotional needs of the child. Practical exercises, elements of play, and everyday life situations are used, making mathematics more understandable and less stressful. The goal of the work is not only to improve school results but also to develop independent strategies for dealing with difficulties and rebuild self-confidence.

Family support

The center pays attention to the role of parents in the therapeutic process - encouraging them to patiently and systematically support their child and cooperate with the school. Parents can receive guidance on how to organize learning at home, how to talk to their child about their difficulties, and how to strengthen their motivation without causing additional stress. This approach helps ensure that change affects not only mathematical skills but also the everyday functioning of the entire family.
