This is the purpose of the Act Concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"381\" data-end=\"675\">The right to a good and independent life includes, for example, the opportunity to work, study, or engage in other meaningful activities. You should also be able to participate in social life. You should, for instance, have access to cultural and leisure activities on the same terms as others.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>The Municipality\u2019s Responsibility<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"82\" data-end=\"259\">It is primarily the municipality that is responsible for ensuring that LSS is followed. The municipality must assess your needs and provide the support and services you require.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"261\" data-end=\"443\">You should be involved in how the support is designed and when it is delivered. You have the right to interpretation services if you need them in order to understand the information.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"43\" data-end=\"74\"><strong data-start=\"43\" data-end=\"74\">Children Should Be Involved<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"76\" data-end=\"396\">If a child needs support, it is important that the child receives information they can understand. The child should be able to participate and express their own thoughts and wishes. Decision-makers must determine what is in the best interests of the child and take this into account when deciding what support is needed.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>Three Groups Covered by the LSS Act<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"84\" data-end=\"219\">The LSS Act describes which individuals are covered by the law. You can apply for support if you belong to one of the following groups:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"221\" data-end=\"732\">\n<li data-start=\"221\" data-end=\"298\">\n<p data-start=\"223\" data-end=\"298\">You have an intellectual disability, autism, or an autism-like condition.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"299\" data-end=\"444\">\n<p data-start=\"301\" data-end=\"444\">You have a significant and permanent cognitive impairment after a brain injury acquired in adulthood, caused by violence or physical illness.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"445\" data-end=\"732\">\n<p data-start=\"447\" data-end=\"732\">You have other major and lasting physical or mental disabilities that are clearly not due to normal ageing. This means that you have great difficulty managing everyday tasks on your own. For example, you may struggle with dressing, cooking, moving around, or communicating with others.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>Personal Assistance<\/h4>\n<p>You can apply for personal assistance from the municipality or the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (F\u00f6rs\u00e4kringskassan). You are eligible if you have a disability that requires help with what is called basic needs. This can include assistance with personal hygiene, eating, dressing and undressing, or communicating with others.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>Both adults and children can receive personal assistance<\/h4>\n<p>If you have a significant disability, you have the right to apply for support to live as good and independent a life as possible.
