Collaboration for education in compulsory school for pupils with intellectual disability

This research project is based on an initiative from the leadership of Lerum's compulsory school for pupils with intellectual disabilities, which has identified a tension field between teaching, care, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy, as well as a growing concern that students are missing out on teaching time. This can be said to represent a general difficulty highlighted in research on the concerned student group. The project is carried out through practice-based action research at the compulsory school for pupils with intellectual disability in Lerum, in collaboration with school staff, researchers, and external actors.

The project is conducted in cooperation with the Department of Education and Special Education, University of Gothenburg. Further reading
