Background

In order to better understand the work and role of STIL some background information on Swedish social politics is provided here.

Division of responsibility in the social area

The Swedish social welfare system is administered by the three levels of government: central state, county councils, and local governments. The national government is responsible for issuing laws and regulations and their enforcement. In addition, functions such as social insurance, housing subsidies, labor market measures including vocational rehabilitation and education are administered at this level.

Följande artikel publicerades 1982 i maj och juni-numren av Svensk Handikapptidskrift. Det var 2 år före STIL:s tillkomst. I en tid där den etablerade handikapprörelsen kämpade som hårdast för sina institutionella boendeformer av typ boendeservice eller förstärkt (more of the same) boendeservice. Så här i efterhand är det lätt att se att artikeln har historiskt värde. Den lanserade begreppen:

"personlig assistent",
"personlig assistans i brukarregi"
finansiering av personlig assistans genom riksförsäkringsverket.

Det tog 12 år tills visionen blev verklighet.

More and more countries have anti-discrimination legislation in connection with disability. At the conference on Legislation for Human Rights held in Stockholm on 24 August 1998 experts from several countries with such legislation presented how the legislation has functioned in their countries and their reflections on the situation of disabled people in their respective country.

In Sweden the traditional disability policy has been focused on support to the individual and compensation of disadvantages through special services.

Angående Färdtjänstförvaltningens svar på min anmälan om diskriminering.

Personal introduction

I grew up in Southern Germany where I contracted polio in 1961, at the age of 17. Within a couple of days I had to be put into an iron lung, since I was unable to breath. During the following three months I trained and built up my remaining breathing muscles until I managed breathing

Independent Living is a philosophy, a way of looking at disability and society, and a worldwide movement of disabled people who work for self-determination, self-respect and equal opportunities.

• establish the right to direct payments of assistance services for as many assistance users as possible,
• enable as many assistance users as possible to exercise the degree of control over their services which they prefer at any given situation in their lives

Tack för det här tillfället att berätta hur jag upplever hjälpmedelsförsörjningen och hur jag tror att verklig valfrihet kan åstadkommas.
