Abstract/Notes: Joachim Dattke describes a holistic approach to supporting the needs of the family when a child has a disability. The parent and child benefit from a two-pronged approach: working with doctors, psychologists, and therapists in clinic-based settings, and working with educators in schools and parent-child groups. He defines the importance of developing a personalized learning environment that implements specific aids and attainable objectives for each child. Approaching parents with empathy elicits the change of perspective that is needed for the family to understand how the child sees the world. Professor Dattke gives special appreciation to the Montessori educator who can "identify critical development periods in the child and look for objects and action sequences that the child may be interested in" and who prevent social exclusion by actively involving children in their social environment.

Abstract/Notes: Eines der wichtigsten Ziele der Montessori-Pädagogik besteht darin, die Fähigkeit zur Konzentration zu fördern. Diesem Ziel dient vor allem auch das „Gehen auf der Linie“, eine der bekanntesten Übungen nach Montessori und verschiedene Stilleübungen. Die Autorin beschreibt zum einen auf eine klare und praxistaugliche Weise deren Ablauf und zeigt, wie man sie am besten einführt; zum anderen erläutert sie aber auch eingehend den Sinn der Übungen, ihre Bedeutung für die kindliche Entwicklung und ihre Einbettung in den Gesamtzusammenhang der Pädagogik Montessoris. [One of the most important goals of Montessori pedagogy is to promote the ability to concentrate. Above all, “walking on the line”, one of the most well-known exercises according to Montessori, and various stillness exercises serve this purpose. On the one hand, the author describes their process in a clear and practical way and shows how best to introduce them; on the other hand, she also explains in detail the meaning of the exercises, their importance for the child's development and their embedding in the overall context of Montessori's pedagogy.]

Abstract/Notes: Awes, AMI trainer at the elementary level, carefully explains how children inherit the potential for language and how its acquisition is virtually guaranteed. All typical children, regardless of culture, will at a given moment come to speak their native language. Montessori found that the absorbent mind, sensitive periods, and human tendencies assist in this acquisition. In contrast, written language does not come naturally to human beings. Children will not develop writing and reading without some degree of direct experience, preparation, and instruction—and this is where obstacles experienced may manifest themselves as dyslexia.
