Description

A contribution by Mirja Köpcke and Heike Metze

Mirja Köpcke and Heike Metze shed light on declining empathy caused by media consumption, challenges from pregnancy onwards (caesarean sections), motor deficits (rocking boards, balance bikes), and the sense of being overwhelmed by early help services and digitalisation.

A contribution by Mirja Köpcke and Heike Metze for the Special Needs Education conference in October 2025 at the Goetheanum.
