Teaching Assistant Internship

How do you learn to read if you are visually impaired? How can you do PE if you are blind? How do you learn to collaborate when communication is difficult?

As a teaching assistant intern in Special Education (SO), you will learn that with the right care and support, so much is possible. Even if you have a visual impairment.

Within the Special Education (SO) of Bartiméus, we guide students aged 4 to 13 with a visual impairment. In our small-scale groups, students receive education that aligns with regular learning paths, but is fully adapted to their abilities and needs.

As a Teaching Assistant intern, you will discover how to support children with a visual impairment in their development.

No two days are the same, and your commitment truly makes a difference for our students.
