PPR (in Danish: Pædagogisk Psykologisk Rådgivning) translates to Educational Psychological Counselling. These services bring together a range of professionals, including psychologists, counsellors, speech‑language therapists, and physiotherapists and occupational therapists. The field is further characterized by collaboration across sectors such as education, childhood and youth services, and social services. All Danish municipalities are legally required to provide PPR services, but they are free to organise them in different ways. As a result, the professional composition and the approaches used vary significantly across the country.

In Denmark as well as internationally research on psychological and interdisciplinary educational support has consistently showed major challenges and emphasizes the importance of linking support across family, municipal services, and educational settings to strengthen coordinated support that is relevant for children and families and enhances meaningful participation, equitable access, and better outcomes.

There is a strong demand—politically and in practice—for preventive measures that are relevant to the daily realities of schools and early childhood institutions. Such measures must address the contexts in which children and young people live, with consideration for structural conditions, professional working conditions and condition for collaboration, the shifting social dynamics among children and in classrooms, and the diverse needs, and circumstances of individual children.
