Funding School and Home Assistive Devices for Kids

The City of Stockholm is set to approve a new agreement with Region Stockholm and Storsthlm, clarifying who pays for assistive devices for children and young people in preschool and school. The school will be responsible for basic equipment and pedagogical aids, like adapted tables, while the Region covers personal aids, such as speech devices, to ensure children receive timely support. While the Education Administration is positive, the Preschool Administration wants the preschool perspective to be more prominent and solutions for "double prescription" (aids needed both at home and in school) to be included.
