Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this article is to analyse life conditions for families with children and young people with disabilities. Special focus is on: legislation, management and organisations, social support and service, housing, education, work and daily activities and leisure activities. The method used is a case study including interviews with parents and professionals. The study also includes an analysis of documents and regulations. The study shows that the support system is transparent and accessible. At the same time managers in the municipalities' social care services interpret their responsibility in different ways thus affecting the support and service for the families. Even though the families have legal rights to a wide range of support and service, the parents have to work to gain access to these and for user influence to be exerted.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The political goal and the aim of Swedish disability policy today is to give persons with disabilities the same opportunities as others to participate in society and to live together wit others - the principles of normalisation and integration. Two particular acts, LSS and LASS, came into force on the 1st of January 1994. One of the most important elements in these acts is the right to personal assistance. The idea of personal assistance is to provide support that is tailor-made to the individual as far as possible and to optimise the person´s influence over how the support is arranged. The aim of this article is to describe and analyse the right personal assistance from an administrative perspective. The focus is on the application and decision process and the development of this support during the years.

- The political goal and the aim of Swedish disability policy today is to give persons with disabilities the same opportunities as others to participate in society and to live together with others - the principles of normalisation and integration. Two particular acts came into force on the 1st of January 1994, the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS) and the Act concerning Assistance Compensation (LASS). LSS gives persons with severe functional disabilities, either physical or mental, the legal right to 10 different kinds of support and services. One of the most important elements in LSS is the right to personal assistance. The idea of personal assistance is to provide support that is tailor-made to the individual as far as possible and to optimise the person's influence over how the support is arranged. The aim of this article is to describe and analyse the right personal assistance from an administrative perspective. The focus is on the application and decision process and the development of this support during the years.

- 2011
-

-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article gives a brief description of management in the care of older persons and persons with disabilities in Sweden. The focus is on how the management profession has developed and what competence is required to reach the goal of providing good quality social care. Current practice challenges and realities indicate that one of the difficulties faced by managers is to provide older persons and persons with disabilities with the possibility of participating in a social context despite a disability or illness. Examples are given of how to secure the individual's rights on a local, regional and national level.
