We work to adapt all teaching for students with Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NPF) and have a well-functioning system to help students in need of support (flex units). Additionally, we have a special education group, focusing on attendance promotion and psychosocial pedagogical work, which is where this position is located.

We have an increased basic staffing level so that we do not hire external substitutes, which means students only meet staff with whom they have a relationship.
