Jean-Ovide Decroly, a Belgian teacher and psychologist, conducted research on the effects of toxins and antitoxins on general nutrition during his medical studies in Ghent and Berlin. He later worked with mentally handicapped children at a neurological clinic in Brussels. In 1907, he established The Hermitage School and introduced the “Decroly plan,” which prioritizes the social adaptation of children based on their biological needs. This pedagogical approach continues to be followed at the Ecole Decroly in Brussels, influencing education by focusing on biosocial needs.
