Services for people with disabilities

Mobility aids, rehabilitation and services helping in independent living are available to people with disabilities. People with hearing and speech difficulties have the right to receive interpretation services. Many of the services are jointly provided by wellbeing services counties and non-governmental organisations.

Informal carers of disabled people may receive support and other assistance from wellbeing services counties. In the guide As an informal carer for a loved one you can read more about becoming an informal carer and the financial support and other available help for informal carers.
