You’ll gain insight into how conversations, observation, and educational strategies are used to support the young people emotionally—and how this interacts with the physical and practical aspects of the work.

At your internship site, you will participate in physical therapy sessions alongside children and adolescents with various challenges. The exercises are led by physical therapists and take place in close collaboration, where you will observe and assist—always under the guidance of the regular staff.

Activities involving games, colors, and shapes are actively used to improve concentration, coordination, and independence. As a participant, you’ll have the opportunity to see how play, learning, and care come together in the work of promoting development and well-being. It is the combination of physical therapy and psychomotor therapy that defines the occupational therapist’s role.

Once a week, a doctor visits the clinic, giving participants the chance to observe and gain insight into the medical side of the work. Here, the children are examined and treated by a doctor. For young people considering a career in medicine, this offers an exciting opportunity to experience the work up close—and gain relevant experience, including in relation to Quota 2.

For young people considering a career in nursing, this offers a great opportunity to experience the work firsthand and gain relevant experience working with children and young people with disabilities.

The center also employs psychomotor therapists who work at the intersection of the body and the mind. Here, movement, body awareness, and sensory training are combined with elements from both physical therapy and occupational therapy. This provides an exciting insight into how children’s psychological well-being and physical development are closely linked.

In the exercise room, we work on everything from walking exercises to balance and fitness. The activities are tailored to each individual, and you’ll have the opportunity to participate in both the planning and the hands-on work related to movement and function.

Many young people participate in cooking, hairdressing, and general education as part of their preparation for adult life. These activities provide responsibility, structure, and experience, and play a key role in strengthening their independence and work skills for their future careers.

Every young person has different needs—which is why the center takes a multidisciplinary approach. You’ll meet physical therapists, nurses, psychologists, medical staff, occupational therapists, and audiologists, as well as educators, who work together to provide support and structure in daily life. As a participant, you’ll become part of the overall multidisciplinary team supporting the young people.
