hverdagslivstilrettelegging

Hverdagslivstilrettelegging is a Norwegian term that translates to "everyday life adaptation" or "everyday facilitation." It refers to the process of making adjustments and providing support to enable individuals, particularly those with disabilities or functional impairments, to participate as fully and independently as possible in their daily lives. This concept encompasses a wide range of interventions, from physical modifications to assistive technologies and personal support services.

The goal of hverdagslivstilrettelegging is to remove barriers that might prevent a person from engaging in activities such as personal care, household tasks, work, education, leisure, and social interaction. This can involve adapting the physical environment, such as installing ramps, grab bars, or specialized equipment in homes and public spaces. It also includes the use of assistive devices, like mobility aids, communication tools, or adaptive clothing.

Furthermore, hverdagslivstilrettelegging may involve the provision of practical assistance from caregivers, personal assistants, or support staff. This support can range from help with specific tasks to enabling participation in community life. The overarching aim is to promote autonomy, dignity, and inclusion by ensuring that individuals have the necessary resources and accommodations to live a meaningful and fulfilling life within their communities. The approach is often person-centered, focusing on the individual's specific needs and preferences.
