About

I have a long career in the Swedish School System, as teacher, special needs teacher, headmaster, special needs advisor and analyst. My main focus have always been improving a more inclusive, equitable school with high quality for all students, especially those vulnarable for exclusion.

At the moment I work with policymaking nationally in Sweden with issues concerning equity, inclusion and high quality education. I am also Representative Board Member representing Sweden at European Agency for Special Needs and Inclusive Education

My organisation

The National Agency for Special Needs Education and Schools

Our agency´s task is to ensure that children, young people and adults – regardless of functional ability – have adequate conditions to fulfil their educational goals. This is done through policy work, disseminate special need research, special needs supports to policymakers and schools, education in special needs schools, accessible teaching materials and government funding.
