The service that issues the assessment report for every pupil in Artemida with a diagnosed or suspected learning difficulty has changed address. From Monday 14 September, the 1st KEDASY of Eastern Attica operates in the main building of the Spata–Artemida Town Hall, at the junction of Vasileos Pavlou and Dimarchou Christou Beka, 19004 Spata, on the 2nd floor.
The move happened with the phones out of service. As the service announced, until the lines are restored contact is exclusively by email, at mail@1kedasy-anatol.att.sch.gr. The Centre's website now shows 210 6623107 as the contact number, while a branch remains in Koropi, at 1 Pter. Gioka Street, on 210 6627361. For as long as the lines go unanswered, email is the only reliable route — and it is worth asking for confirmation of receipt.
Why it matters for Artemida
Until now, parents from Artemida went to Koropi, to 26 Adrianou Street. The difference is practical, because the request for an assessment is not filed online: the parent or guardian goes to the office in person, during set hours that depend on the school level. The journey is now inside our own municipality.
The 1st KEDASY does not cover only Spata and Artemida. It accepts requests for pupils in nurseries, primary schools, lower secondary and upper secondary schools in the municipalities of Spata–Artemida, Pallini, Paiania–Glyka Nera, Kropia, Markopoulo Mesogaias, Saronikos, Lavreotiki and Vari–Voula–Vouliagmeni. In other words, the headquarters of a service covering the whole of Mesogeia and the southern suburbs is now at Spata Town Hall.
What KEDASY does
The Interdisciplinary Assessment, Counselling and Support Centre assesses pupils up to the age of 18 and issues the assessment report — the document that determines the framework for a child's schooling and the reasonable adjustments they are entitled to at school. It also provides counselling support to parents and to schools.
The process and the documents
The request is filed in person. The reception hours in force before the move were, by school level: for nurseries Monday 14:00–16:00, Wednesday 12:00–14:00 and Friday 09:00–13:00; for primary schools Monday 11:00–15:00 and Friday 09:00–13:00; for lower and upper secondary Tuesday 11:00–15:00 and Thursday 09:00–13:00. Since the service has only just changed building, the hours should be confirmed by email before you set out.
The documents required are written consent from the other parent, a family status certificate, a photocopy of an identity card, medical opinions or disability certification where they exist, any previous assessments from another public body, a written sample of the child's work, school reports from previous years for secondary pupils, therapists' reports if the child is following a programme, and court custody decisions where applicable.
The request can also come from the school: with a reasoned recommendation and minutes of the teachers' association describing the pupil's situation and the interventions that have been tried — always with the parent's consent. For families starting the process now, with the school year just under way, the order is simple: first talk to the class teacher, then gather the documents, then make the visit.
What led to this
Moving the headquarters is not a decision of recent days. It was taken by ministerial decision 65894/D3, published in Government Gazette B' 4079 of 23 June 2023, which moved the headquarters of the 1st KEDASY of Eastern Attica from Pallini to the Municipality of Spata–Artemida, following a proposal by the Regional Directorate of Education for Attica. It took three years to find the building and complete the move.
