Services for people with hearing and speaking disabilities
Local authorities are responsible for providing help and support for the disabled, although organisations in the sector also provide special services. People with hearing and speaking disabilities have the right to receive the interpreting services they require. There are technical aids for communication meant for those with speaking disabilities, as well as, for example, technical aids meant for computers. These aids are primarily the responsibility of municipal social welfare and health care.
There are interpreting and other services for people who use sign language. The hard of hearing and those becoming deaf may need, for example, individual hearing aids or noise protection at work and in their leisure time.
