When established in 1998 Autism Center Nord-Bo was a place for teaching and social activities, including an individually organized and structured educational concept for five adolescents and adults with thorough developmental disturbances, among these Asperger Syndrome and other contact difficulties.

From Agusit 2009 Autism Center Nord-Bo includes an educational day care treatment program for 127 adolescents and adults, whereof 74 are placed in the department in Aabybro and 53 are placed in the department in Aalborg. Autism Center Nord-Bo also includes 54 individual accomandations projets, a counselling department and in addition a department offering protected job activities.

The fundamental educational starting point for the work on Autism Center Nord-Bo is the fact that we are dealing with human beings who in spite of a thorough developmental disability each are very different and each have their own unique and individual possibilities and needs.

On Autism Center Nord-Bo each single human being has quite exceptional problems and skills which have to be taken into consideration in the educational work. Autismcenter Nord-Bo offers a wide range of opportunities which are adjusted to each single person. Consequently individual courses are weighted highly.

Naturally many of the adults and adolescents have identical needs, for example the need for regularity, clarity, structure, predictability, coherency in the daily round and the need to feel secure. These needs are accommodated for in the Autism Center Nord-Bo reign.

The day care treatment program is founded on the following cornerstones:

• Internal and external education
• Vocational training and job training
• Music/creative activities
• Exercise and movement
• Horseback riding
• Practical outdoor team
• Workshop activities
• Production activities
• Kitchen/canteen activities
• Cleaning crew
• Caretaker crew
• Educational guidance
• Dialog groups
• Social skills training
• Fieldtrips
• Club activities

With focus on the abilities, possibilities and wishes of the individual, plans of conduct and development are described. The person as a whole is considered in regards to developing intellectual, social, mental, physiological and practical skills.

An individual and differentiated offer is worked out; this adds quality of life and in addition helps to determine future possibilities regarding education, employment, spare time and home environment.
