COUNTRY IN WHICH IT WAS DEVELOPED: Sweden
COUNTRY/ COUNTRIES IN WHICH IT IS OPERATING: Sweden
FACTS ABOUT SIZE AND SCOPE
1. 2 large secondary schools in 2 municipalities, 215 students received individual interventions
2. Collaboration and cooperation with professionals outside of school (e.g. local health and social care, employment
office, National agency for education, National Agency for Special Needs Education and Schools and Swedish Social
Insurance Agency) was established. The aim was to ease the transition from school to work or further study. The
collaboration that has taken place has led to the young people coming out to activities (e.g. employment
internships, training )
3. Assessment s of needs was carried out before and after interventions and showed significant improvement in 13 of
the 16 areas assessed. Almost all students, 97 percent, thought that they would continue or in part continue to use
the technology after the project time. 62 percent felt they their ability to deal with difficult situations improved
during the project time
OUTLOOK
The University of Linkoping will follow a large number of the students who received individual interventions and who
have consented to be included in a follow-up study . A website dedicated to increasing technology support for students
with learning difficulties in order to create equal opportunities to education and future work has been established and
offers information and teaching materials developed in this project and Teknikstöd I skolan (technology support in
school) . Webb address:
