You will work based on the LSS (Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments) and other relevant legislation, as well as the municipality's value base, political goals, and other guidelines. The interventions should be based on the individual's psychological, physical, and social needs, with the aim of reducing the consequences of the impairment as much as possible.
