What Leersteuncentrum West-Brabant-Brussel does

Leersteuncentrum West-Brabant-Brussel (LSC WBB) is a non-profit educational support centre operating under the Katholiek Onderwijs Vlaanderen umbrella in the Flanders and Brussels-Capital region of Belgium. Its core function is to deliver multi-disciplinary support to students with specific educational needs within regular primary and secondary schools, and to act as a bridge between regular education, special education, and the Centra voor Leerlingenbegeleiding (CLBs). The organisation serves a designated network of approximately 167 regular education schools, 13 special education schools, and 4 CLBs, deploying roughly 100 supporters with pedagogical, psychological, medical, therapeutic, and sign-language expertise. LSC WBB was originally established as a support network around 2017–2018 and was formally re-established as an independent Leersteuncentrum in September 2023 under the Flemish government's new Decreet Leersteun.

LSC WBB's operational backbone is a digital support trajectory management platform currently built on Diplon, with a migration to Zorglink planned for the upcoming school year. These systems are used to register, track, and coordinate individual student support trajectories across the partner network, rather than to deliver automated or AI-driven interventions. The organisation works within a four-partner co-creation model that structurally links the Leersteuncentrum with regular schools, special education schools, CLBs, and the Katholiek Onderwijs Vlaanderen governance layer.

The business model is non-commercial: LSC WBB is funded through Flemish government allocations under Decreet Leersteun, with no disclosed pricing model, fee-for-service structure, or third-party revenue stream. Customer relationships are mandate-assigned rather than competitively acquired, which removes acquisition cost but also caps the addressable footprint to the designated region. There are no funding rounds, M&A activity, or commercial product launches in the input data.
