Most of our clients are children and youth with motor developmental delays or motor impairments. Some do also have ADHD, autistic spectrum disorders, mental retardation or other conditions. Through collaboration, education and therapy we aim to maximize each child´s potential and participation to enriching their quality of life.

The SLF´s Rehabilitation Center provides individual and group-based services. It has excellent facilities,operates a swimming pool, a gym and a Hippotherapy. Services are also available at other locations such as private homes, schools, preschools and child care centers. Staff members number 38 in total, including physical therapists, occupational therapists and therapy assistants. They collaborate closely with other service providers.

The practice is financed by allocations from the Ministry of Welfare and is also funded by donations, corporate giving, bequests and fundraising activities.
