ICP Munich Foundation
The non-profit foundation ICP Munich (formerly Spasticity Center Munich ; ICP stands for Integration Center for Cerebral Palsy ) is a rehabilitation facility for people with disabilities. It is aimed primarily at a group of people with physical and motor impairments, such as B. Infantile Cerebral Palsy . The aim of these institutions is to enable professional and social integration with the help of individual support. School, medical, nursing, therapeutic and educational measures work together in an interdisciplinary manner. There are also inclusive and integrative offers.
history
In 1957 the "Association for the Promotion of Spastic Paralyzed Children" was founded on the initiative of Albert Göb. The association set up the Munich “Spasticity Center”, in which children with cerebral palsy could be treated. This was the first special facility of its kind in the Federal Republic. At the time, Göb was the senior physician in charge of the Orthopedic University Polyclinic in Pettenkoferstraße in Munich, as well as the deputy state doctor for the physically disabled. Until 1990 Göb was the medical director and chairman of the association. After initially provisional accommodation in a room in the orthopedic clinic, the “Spastic Center” moved in 1960 to a converted wash house on the grounds of a nursing home at Garmischer Strasse 241.
The range of support measures expanded in the following years: in 1974 the vocational training center (BBW) was established in the ICP. As one of the first BBW in Germany, people with cerebral palsy were able to enter the labor market through qualified professional training.
In 1997 the association opened the MFZ (Münchner Förderzentrum) in the Munich district of Giesing through the company MFZ Münchner Förderzentrum GmbH, founded in 1995, followed by the MFZ in the Freimann district in 2008 . These facilities provide housing, training, therapy and employment for adults with a physical disability.
In 2002 the "Spastic Center" was demolished and the foundation stone laid for a new building, which was completed in 2004. All offers for children and young people as well as the vocational training center are housed in the new building. The Spasticity Center was renamed “ICP - Integration Center for Cerebral Palsy”.
In 2005 the IKF Integrative Kinderförderung GmbH was founded as a subsidiary. The company operates four day-care centers in the city of Munich with predominantly integrative offers. In 2010 she opened a private integrative elementary school with after-school care center in 2010. The school received state recognition in 2015 and moved to a new building in 2017, also at Garmischer Strasse 241. In 2014, the association transferred its operational activities and assets to the newly established ICP Munich Foundation .
In 2018 the foundation set up the “Medical Center for Adults with Disabilities” (MZEB) in Munich. In this outpatient facility, adults with severe physical disabilities receive extensive medical and therapeutic treatment.
Structure of the foundation
The foundation is headed by a board of three people: Thomas Pape (chairman), Robert Fabian-Krause (economy and finance) and Bernhard Heimkes (medicine and therapy). A seven-member board of trustees serves as a supervisory body. He is led by Dr. Günther Bauer and consists of personalities from the social, financial and judicial sectors. A board of trustees as an advisory body for professional development is composed of representatives from public life, chaired by Theo Waigel .
Fields of activity
The offers of the ICP Munich Foundation range from medical-therapeutic care, school and curative education support to training, employment and care to various forms of living.
The aim is to achieve great independence for those affected. There are four medical specialists working in all of the ICP Munich Foundation's facilities. You are responsible for medical treatment and cooperate with clinics and private practices. You are networked with the therapists. Interdisciplinary teams from all areas work together to develop goals for each individual and create an individual support plan for the treatment.
Post-operative rehabilitation
Children and young people who visit one of the Foundation's facilities can receive inpatient follow-up treatment with all the necessary measures after an operation in the ICP Munich Foundation. In this rehabilitation the young patients can become active immediately after they are discharged from the clinic. The familiar surroundings as well as the early return to school and day care center can promote recovery.
Offers for children and young people in the ICP Munich Foundation
The restrictions associated with cerebral palsy are very different from one individual to the next. The children and young people who attend the special needs school or special needs vocational school of the ICP Munich Foundation therefore have very heterogeneous learning requirements.
The interdisciplinary cooperation of the areas of medicine and therapy with the areas of day care and home is therefore an essential part of the school support work. This holistic support was developed and published as the “Munich Day Concept” by Siegfried Stotz. School and day care center work in a closely coordinated system, supplemented by doctors and therapy.
Munich day concept
- All-day promotion
- Structured daily and weekly schedule in which lessons, occupational, speech and physiotherapy and day care time are integrated into a daily and weekly schedule in a child-friendly manner.
- Spatial "islands" consisting of classroom, day care room, relaxation room and therapy room
- Special school teachers, educators, therapists and other specialists work on an interdisciplinary basis in the island's team
Remedial day care center
The curative educational day care center of the ICP Munich Foundation consists of 16 groups with a total of 168 places. The focus is on the curative education promotion of individual skills and social skills.
Luise Kiesselbach schools
Private special school of the ICP Munich Foundation
The Luise-Kiesselbach-Förderschule is divided into the preparatory school (from the age of four to school entry), the elementary (grades 1-4), intermediate (grades 5–9) and vocational school (grades 10-12). The class composition is based primarily on the age of the students. Depending on their needs, they are taught either according to the curriculum for the specialty “intellectual development” or according to the specialty “learning”. Lesson phases in the class (material lessons, excursions, school festivals) alternate with learning in homogeneous learning tracks (German, mathematics) and work in small groups (housekeeping, works).
Private vocational school for special educational support of the ICP Munich Foundation
The Luise Kiesselbach vocational school is attended by both trainees from the ICP Munich Foundation's vocational training center and external trainees. The school is divided into classes for vocational preparation and specialist classes for the professional fields of office, metal, housekeeping and IT. In addition to a professional qualification, the pupils can also acquire the secondary school leaving certificate or the secondary school leaving certificate as well as the KMK English certificate.
The ICP Foundation for vocational training in Munich
In the vocational training center ICP Munich Foundation, young people with a physical disability can complete an inter-company training in six professional fields (business and administration, information technology, housekeeping, orthopedic technology, screen printing, metal technology). The aim of the Berufsbildungswerk (BBW) is to provide apprentices with individual and practical qualifications through suitable professions and in close cooperation with cooperating companies, thereby enabling them to gain access to the labor market. In 2018, all 42 trainees at the BBW successfully completed their IHK final exams.
In addition to this, from 2018 an independent vocational training area was operated as a “different provider”. Trainers, social pedagogues and, if required, language, occupational and physiotherapists as well as psychologists accompany the training and the transition to professional life. Housing options and vocational preparation complete the program.
Offers for adults from the MFZ Münchner Förderzentrum
The subsidiary of the ICP Munich Foundation, the MFZ Münchner Förderzentrum GmbH , offers employment opportunities for people who, due to their physical handicap, have few opportunities in the primary labor market.
Workshop for people with disabilities (WfbM)
The ICP workshop is a special workshop for people with cerebral palsy or other neuro-orthopedic diseases who cannot complete vocational training, but whose disabilities allow them to work. In addition to the workshop, an independent vocational training area (BBB) is offered.
The job offers adapt to the individual performance of the employees. Vocational and work-related offers are intended to maintain and further develop performance. Ideally, the participants can achieve full employability and placement on the primary job market.
Funding facility
After completing compulsory schooling, disabled people work in the funding facility who cannot work in a WfbM due to the severity of their disability. Holistic support should prepare them for work in a WfbM or develop and maintain existing skills, improve their independence and their health situation.
Luise Kiesselbach Technical School for Curative Education Care
Since September 2018, MFZ GmbH has been offering training at the state-approved Luise-Kiesselbach-Fachschule for curative care. Budding nurses benefit from the close connection between the school and the practical part of the training as well as the short distances in the middle of Munich, as well as from the multitude of fields of activity. The training to become a curative educator lasts three years and is designed to be part-time due to the dual structure.
Living
The ICP Munich Foundation offers differentiated living options for different life situations. These should guarantee the greatest possible independence while at the same time providing appropriate support.
Living in a student residence
The student dormitory offers all year round a home for students of the special needs schools and special needs vocational schools of the ICP Munich Foundation, whose place of residence is too far away or whose family situation does not allow them to go home. They live in family-like residential groups that are supposed to give them emotional support and are looked after professionally.
Living in the boarding school, in training or outdoor living groups during vocational training at the BBW
The adolescents and young adults who are completing an apprenticeship at the BBW of the ICP Munich Foundation can choose from various housing models:
- Permanently supervised living group in the boarding school (single or double room)
- Partly supervised training group of the boarding school (single room)
- Outdoor living group with sporadic support (mostly single apartments)
They receive nursing help and are supported on their way to independence.
Living in the MFZ Münchner Förderzentrum with a visit to a subsidy facility / workshop
The people who work in funding centers or workshops can live in the MFZ dormitories in Giesing or Freimann. Seven to nine residents, each living in a single room, form a residential group.
Living with an integrated daily structure (after finishing working life)
The MFZ Münchner Förderzentrum offers an individual living concept with a daily structure for people who leave the funding facility or workshop (WfbM) due to age or the severity of their disability. This full-time housing option until the end of life is geared towards the needs of elderly disabled people.
Housing for people with disabilities in old age
People with multiple physical disabilities require medical care tailored to their needs in old age.
This is where the MFZ Münchner Förderzentrum comes in with its model project of an integrated living area, in which the care services from SGB XI are combined with the participation from SGB XII. The residents receive holistic care from nursing to therapeutic educational treatment. You live in spacious single rooms with a private bathroom.
Assisted living with apartments (outpatient care service of your choice)
Adults with disabilities who can and want to live largely independently can make use of a care service as required. You can book other services such as cleaning or meals.
IKF Integrative Kinderförderung GmbH
As early as 2004, five years before the UN Disability Convention came into force, the ICP Munich Foundation advocated integration and inclusion and opened the first integrative day-care center - the Kleeblatt crèche on Weilheimer Strasse. Since then, IKF Integrative Kinderförderung GmbH, a 100% subsidiary of the ICP Munich Foundation, has continuously expanded the integrative offers. An integrative kindergarten followed in 2008 and an inclusive elementary school with an integrative after-school care center in 2010. In the next few years, an integrative day nursery was set up in the north of Munich as well as two daycare centers at Westpark, for the latter the state capital of Munich commissioned IKF GmbH to run the company. The IKF Integrative Kinderförderung GmbH now offers around 450 places at four locations:
Integrative house for children Kleeblatt, Weilheimer Straße
Integrative house for children, Garmischer Strasse
Integrative day nursery, Situlistraße
House for children, Am Westpark
These integrative offers in addition to the special offers of the facilities of the ICP Munich Foundation give parents the option of choosing in which facility their child should be looked after; On the other hand, they also offer tailor-made upbringing, education and support for every child and their needs. Due to the close networking and exchange, the child can switch between the special area (HPT, SVE and special needs school) and the inclusive area (crèche, day care center and school / after-school care center) at any time.
Main focus of the IKF Integrative Kinderförderung GmbH
The focus of all activities is the child with his interests, inclinations, needs and his desire to belong to a community.
Each child is seen in their entire personality and a focus on one aspect of their being, such as their impairment, is avoided. In our facilities, the individual needs of the children, which can also be caused by the impairment, are always taken into account, but at the same time a normal approach to one another that avoids attributions is lived. Both in group settings and in curative education / therapeutic support, the necessary (play) space is created for the children, which enables them to build up self-esteem, strengthen this and develop their personality further. Instead, there is a change between targeted (funding) offers, opportunities for independent experimentation and classic free play.
It is therefore important to see and accept this diversity and diversity in the children's “initial situations” per se as an enrichment: to laugh together, to be happy, but also to be able to disagree, to negotiate things, to shape everyday life together - that is, to appreciate each other and to accept for who one is.
Piano project
After a pilot project in 2010, the Munich doctor Renée Lampe initiated an extraordinary research project at the ICP Munich Foundation. In 2016 she studied a classical piano concerto with children with cerebral palsy. Not only were the positive effects on the children's motor skills examined here, but the project enables the participants to express themselves in a musical way, thereby expanding their participation in social life. The project is funded by the Friede Springer Foundation .
