This article or paragraph presents the situation in Germany . Help us to describe the situation in other countries.

In the Federal Republic of Germany, these institutions are supported by independent organizations such as Caritas , Diakonisches Werk , Lebenshilfe , self-help initiatives, parent associations or, if no independent organization is available to take on the relevant tasks, by public organizations, which corresponds to the principle of subsidiarity .

There is no uniform basis for financing. The offers for services in accordance with Sections 53-60 of Book XII of the Social Code ( SGB ​​XII ), long-term care insurance ( SGB ​​XI ), the Employment Promotion Act ( SGB ​​III ), the Act on Rehabilitation and Participation of Disabled People ( SGB ​​IX ), are billed Section 35a (integration assistance for mentally handicapped children and young people) of the Child and Youth Welfare Act ( SGB ​​VIII ) and various health and rehabilitation services (including SGB ​​V and SGB ​​VII ). Funding for schools is basically a matter for the federal states.
