Occupational Therapist

Habilitation & Health offers specialized care and support to individuals with permanent disabilities, such as reduced ability to communicate, see, hear, or move. The goal is to maintain and develop functional abilities, create conditions for good health, and enable active participation in society. Do you want to make a difference for individuals with disabilities? Welcome to Habilitation & Health, part of the Västra Götaland Region. Together, we have the power to make a change. Habilitation is specialized health care for children and adolescents with autism, intellectual disabilities, mobility impairments, or acquired brain injuries. We provide health-promoting and therapeutic interventions based on each individual's unique needs and circumstances, and we have specialist knowledge of how disabilities can affect daily life, health, and development. **Description** Do you want to contribute to ensuring that children who have had a different start in life are given the opportunity to reach their full potential?
