Co-Developers at Langagerskolen
At Langagerskolen, teachers and pedagogues have participated in co-developing workshops with the aim of testing, reflecting, discussing, and evaluating the CollaboLearn material, so that it fits within their special educational practice with children with autism and ADHD.
Co-Developers at Højvangskolen
Højvangskolen’s Børnefællesskab (translated: the Children Community at Højvangskolen) is an offer for pupils who find it difficult to fully participate in the common classroom.
