Stichting Bio Kinderrevalidatie

Stichting Bio Kinderrevalidatie is a children's rehabilitation center in Arnhem with specialized areas for treatment and training activities. The complex includes an adapted swimming pool, a riding school, and residential spaces where groups of eight children live and learn alongside six staff members.

The facility was founded in 1959 by architects Jacobus and Hans Oud and grew from the need to treat children affected during the post-war polio period. A specialized school building for children with physical disabilities was added later, expanding the care and educational services.

The center gained recognition across the Netherlands through cinema donation campaigns that supported its work with children living with disabilities. This public backing shows how important the facility became to Dutch society.

The facility offers residential areas where small groups of children live with full support from specialized staff. Visitors should contact ahead, as this is a private rehabilitation and residential facility focused on specialized care needs.

The building complex merges rehabilitation and teaching spaces into a single structure, allowing children to receive therapy and schooling in one location daily. This design lets children develop independence in everyday activities and social interaction while continuing their education without changing environments.
