The work is based on the individual's needs and prerequisites and is characterized by a pedagogical approach according to Antonovsky's Sense of Coherence (SOC) (comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness).

We collaborate closely with colleagues and other professions such as nurses, special needs teachers, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists to create a holistic approach around each individual. The role includes care, care-related interventions, and health care tasks performed on delegation. You document in the journal system Viva. Furthermore, the role includes being a contact person, which means you are responsible for planning, implementation, and follow-up of interventions, always with an enabling approach.
