In addition to schools, child and youth welfare, particularly educational support, is the central area of activity for professional educators. Although educational support is formally regulated by legislation, it presents educators in the field with the challenge of professionally interpreting the legally defined framework. This is where the book comes in. It provides a practice-oriented introduction to educational support from an educational perspective. It establishes the various forms of educational support on a pedagogical basis and offers information on the meaningful design and implementation of each type of support. The presentation is illustrated with examples from the practice of educational assistance.
