About the unit
Vassmolösa is an LSS residence (Services and Support for People with Disabilities Act) aimed at young people between the ages of 13–18 (or as long as the young person is in school) who have a diagnosis within the autism spectrum and/or an intellectual disability.

We work individually based on Nytida's framework for pedagogy (read more here), which is built on low-affective interaction, clarifying pedagogy, and alternative and augmentative communication (AAC). The approach is individualized so that each young person has the best conditions for quality of life, participation, self-determination, and meaning. With calm, security, and structure, we support the young person in using their strengths and embracing their interests.

We are a small staff group that works closely together, where collaboration between colleagues is the starting point.

The residence is located 23 kilometers south of Kalmar in a village called Kvarnlyckan. Here, it is close to beautiful nature, walking trails, the sea, and beaches. The nearest bus stop is 2.3 kilometers from the residence, and from there it takes 30 minutes to reach Kalmar by public transport. With a short drive, you can reach various leisure activities in the surrounding area, such as bowling, swimming hall, cinema, skate park, playgrounds, ice rink, library, and more.
