Children at the heart of the research

Pontus Wallin, a doctoral student at JA, combines his research studies with the role of quality developer at Solberga by.

Solberga by is a non-profit organisation offering adapted primary school education and residential accommodation for children and young people with intellectual disabilities, aged 6–16. The children at Solberga have an intellectual disability diagnosis and are often also diagnosed with related conditions such as autism.

When Pontus was accepted as a PhD student at Jönköping Academy, the Samskapa-research programme began, giving him the opportunity to incorporate co-production perspectives into his work on quality improvement at Solberga. This film describes how Solberga works to improve quality of life for the children in its care.
