Municipality
As a job consultant or caseworker, the most common way you will meet people with ASD is because of difficulties keeping a lasting connection to the labour market and the educational system. In spite of this many people with ASD are bright as well as being professionally very skilled, and with the right kind of support, knowledge, and understanding can become self-sufficient and contribute to the welfare society on equal terms with everyone else.
| An autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is an invisible disability with no external characteristics. It is a pervasive developmental disorder, to which there is no cure. Children with ASD grow up to be adults with ASD. |
It is quite clear that most people with ASD, in varying degrees of extent find it difficult to live up to the labour market's demands on social and executive skills. In our experience, it is just as clear that people with ASD want to have a meaningful everyday life and working day that is characterized by clarification, manageability, predictability, and often visually based, well-structured methods, which answers to the individual the following questions:
- What am I going to do (contents)?
- Why am I doing it (goal and purpose)?
- How am I going to do it (location)?
- When am I going to do it (time)?
- For how long am I going to do it (timeframe)?
- Who will I be doing it with?
- How much am I going to do?
- What should I do after that?
In the menu on the left you can see which specialized services we currently provide for the municipalities.
| The occurrence of people with ASD is rising and is currently making up for approximately 1% of the population. According to National Autism Plan in 2006 the numbers for a typical municipality with a population of 40.000 people totals 240 people with ASD; the growth rate is about 3 new citizens per year or 20-25 schoolchildren with a diagnosis throughout their entire schooling, because some do not get diagnosed until late in their school age. |
