Training according to the Disability Services Act supports you in learning or strengthening the skills needed for an independent life. Such skills include, for example, skills related to transactions, communication, interaction, movement, and other everyday activities. You can also receive training on changes in your life and how to prepare for them. Such situations can include moving to a new home or starting school or work. The training includes: * Training in cognitive and functional skills and social interaction. * Teaching sign language or guidance in the use of alternative and augmentative communication. * Support during changes in the disability's functional ability, environment, family situation, or other similar life-changing situations. The content, goals, and implementation of the training are planned together with you and, if necessary, with your relatives or professionals involved in your support. Training can also be provided to your close relatives if it is necessary to achieve the training goals set for you. Training is always a time-limited and goal-oriented service, with goals recorded and feedback collected at the end of the service. There is a subjective right to the service when the eligibility criteria are met. Part of the training (other training for people close to the person) is a time-limited service. When applying, you should attach a medical statement or a statement describing your current health condition, how you function, and what help you need in everyday situations. The best way to support your assessment is to get a statement from a healthcare provider who knows your situation best. The statement should be as recent as possible, no more than a year old. If necessary, a disability services officer will advise you on how to provide health information.

Access to disability services is based on an individual assessment of the need for services. New clients are referred to disability services through the client and service counselling Soihtu or the client and service counselling for the elderly. The assessment of the need for services first evaluates the suitability and adequacy of the services in accordance with the Social Welfare Act. After that, the need for services in accordance with the Disability Services Act is assessed. If you are applying for disability services for the first time and are under 65 years of age, contact the Soihtu Team in your municipality by phone, via Varha App or fill in the form: Ilmoitus/yhteydenotto sosiaalihuoltoon tuen tarpeen arvioimiseksi (huoli-ilmoitus). If you are over 65 years old, you can contact the client and service counselling for the elderly. The customer helpline for services for the elderly is available on weekdays in Finnish on 02 313 2100 (9-15) and in Swedish on 02 313 2200 (9-15). If you are already a client of Varha’s Disability Services and you are applying for a new service or a change to an existing service, you can contact your designated Disability Services employee or fill in the Disability Services application form. The Disability Service Application is for existing clients of the disability services. If you don't know who to contact, you can contact the disability services office or disability services counsellor in your area. The disability services in the wellbeing services county of Southwest Finland can provide you with help and advice on applying for the service. When you apply, please attach a medical report or statement describing your current state of health, how you function and what kind of help you need in everyday situations. The best way to support your assessment is to get a statement from a care provider who knows your situation best. This should be as recent as possible, no more than a year old. If necessary, a disability services worker will advise you on how to provide health information.
