Risöskolan is Sundbyberg Municipality's adapted primary school for students with intellectual disabilities. The school is located in Rissne, Sundbyberg. Just over 60 students from preschool class to grade 9 attend the school and study according to the curriculum for adapted primary school, subjects, or subject areas. Our goal is to give the students the best possible start in life, both academically and socially. Key pillars in the school's work are clear pedagogy, communication, and positive behavioral support.

A language-developing approach gives students the opportunity to express themselves, which contributes to increased participation and independence, motivation, and security. All students should feel safe at Risöskolan, as security is a prerequisite for learning.

It may also involve training in daily tasks; receiving and dropping off at school transport, hygiene, transitions, break activities, meals, certain medication, and handling self-care assistance according to routines.
