There is a desire to be offered internal training and supervision to better individualize the care of the youths diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders. Statens institutionsstyrelse is making progress in implementing adaptations, but it does not work in practice. Our conclusion is therefore that changes are necessary for compulsory care for adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders to provide better care and treatment. (Less)
