CINEtique and Leona Platel school

Programme

Both establishments combine educational and therapeutic functions with a common goal. The Léona Platel school provides a type 4 specialised education for pupils aged 2 to 14. The CiNETiquE centre welcomes children from the school and day students. It offers care supervised by a multidisciplinary team. This project aims to give a lot of hope to the families as well as to the staff who can work in adapted premises in order to offer the best care to the children.
