Arbeitsstelle Frühförderung Bayern

What Arbeitsstelle Frühförderung Bayern does

Arbeitsstelle Frühförderung Bayern is the Bavarian state chapter (LV Bayern) of the Vereinigung für Interdisziplinäre Frühförderung – Bundesvereinigung e.V. (VIFF), a registered non-profit professional association (e.V.) founded in 1983 and headquartered in Munich, with a federal office (Bundesgeschäftsstelle) at c/o KelCon GmbH, Tauentzienstr. 18A, Berlin. VIFF functions as the only nationwide professional body for interdisciplinary early intervention (Frühförderung) in Germany, convening specialists from medical, therapeutic, pedagogical, psychological, and social-work disciplines across nine regional chapters (Landesvereinigungen) covering Baden-Württemberg, Bayern, Berlin-Brandenburg, Nord, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Sachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt, Südwest, and Thüringen. The Bavarian chapter separately marked 50 years of early intervention work in 2024.

The association's offering is structured around member services rather than a unified software product. Core deliverables include the biennial Symposion Frühförderung (23rd in 2025, 24th scheduled for February 25-27, 2027 in Heidelberg), regional Fachtage such as the 5th Fachtag in Magdeburg-Stendal on September 23, 2026, the annual Deutscher Frühförderpreis award program (2027 submission deadline November 30, 2026), and an archive of professional publications — exemplified by the 332-page book 'Transitionen' documenting the 21st Symposium, distributed via Kohlhammer Verlag. VIFF also operates an online directory of Frühförderstellen across all German states and develops quality standards referenced in the statutory frameworks of SGB IX, FrühV, and BTHG.

The business model is membership-fee-based with supplementary event and publication income. The organization is tax-exempt under §5 Abs. 1 Nr. 9 KStG as it operates exclusively for charitable purposes, and is governed by an elected Vorstand chaired by Jurij Štrbenk (1. Vorsitzender) and Jens Vandré (2. Vorsitzender). Member services are coordinated by Sarah Goldmann at the Bundesgeschäftsstelle. The association reports a headcount of 7 employees and discloses no pricing, revenue, or funding figures, consistent with its status as a small, federally federated non-profit.

Broad incumbents

• Lebenshilfe Bundesverband: Large German nonprofit advocacy and service organization for people with intellectual disabilities and their families. Comparable as a broader, more established organization that operates Frühförderstellen and family services across Germany, overlapping with VIFF's service population but operating at a much larger scale.
• Deutscher Caritasverband (DCV): National umbrella organization of Catholic welfare associations in Germany. Comparable as a large, established nonprofit umbrella with regional chapters, member-driven governance, and a footprint in early-intervention and family services—mirroring VIFF's structural model at much larger scale.
• Caritas Behindertenhilfe und Psychiatrie (CBP): German Caritas federation's division for disability and psychiatric services. Comparable as a major, established provider network running early intervention and family support services nationwide, representing the incumbent operational counterpart to VIFF's professional-association role.
• Bundesvereinigung für Rehabilitation (BV BR): Federal association for rehabilitation in Germany, covering medical, vocational, and social rehabilitation. Comparable as an umbrella professional/membership organization with national reach and policy engagement on disability-related services, parallel to VIFF but at a broader rehabilitation scope.

Direct peers

• Deutsche Gesellschaft für Sozialpädiatrie und Jugendmedizin (DGSPJ): German professional association for social pediatrics and youth medicine. Closely comparable to VIFF as a professional membership organization focused on developmental and medical care for children, with overlapping member base of physicians and therapists working in early intervention.
• Deutscher Verband der Ergotherapeuten (DVE): German professional association for occupational therapists. Comparable because occupational therapy is one of the core disciplines coordinated within VIFF's interdisciplinary early intervention model; DVE serves a parallel role for occupational therapists as VIFF does for the broader interdisciplinary field.
• Berufsverband der Kinder- und Jugendärzte (BVKJ): German professional association for pediatricians. Comparable because pediatricians are key referrers into and participants of early intervention services, and BVKJ plays a similar advocacy and continuing-education role for its members as VIFF does for interdisciplinary specialists.
• Verband Sonderpädagogik (VDS): German professional association for special-needs educators. Comparable as a professional membership body whose members work with children with developmental disabilities and special needs, overlapping significantly with VIFF's pedagogical/early-intervention membership base.
• Deutscher Bundesverband der Logopädie (DBL): German professional association for speech-language therapists. Comparable as another discipline-specific professional association whose members frequently work in Frühförderstellen and overlap with VIFF's interdisciplinary network.

Emerging players

• Zentralverband der Physiotherapeuten/Krankengymnasten (ZVK): German professional association for physiotherapists. Comparable as a discipline-specific professional association whose members (especially pediatric physiotherapists) operate within Frühförderstellen alongside VIFF-affiliated interdisciplinary teams.
