Accommodation - Leisure time
   


The students  are accommodated in a home with staff, who gives support and encourages the children on their way to adulthood.  Each pupil has a room to himself. We offer the pupils:
- secure, stimulating surroundings, high quality basic care to support individual education and rehabilitation
- tutoring in independent living skills
- a variety of leisure time activities, including choir, riding, handicrafts, playing in a group, swimming, carpentry, goal ball, scouts, musical get-togethers and gym. Leisure time activities are supervised by a leisure time instructor, other instructors and educators in the dormitory.
- the tenth grade pupils live in one-room flats and are given individual guidance in independent living skills
- possibility to develop social skills in a peer group
Co-operation with parents is highly important.
