- I have met similar pupils like Vilma before, but may not understand at the time that it was about very talented young people, says Cecilia Elfors, teacher at the Women's School in Örebro.

Important to get to know the students

The starting point of the school's work is that mentors and teachers should establish good relationships with students in order to motivate them and adapt if needed.

- Some of us teachers let Vilma join in discussing the lesson plan, purpose and central content of the subjects. She has also been tested on certain subjects and we try to create tasks that include several knowledge requirements, says Cecilia.

Gaps in the schedule

Vilma has also been given an adapted schedule with gaps where she can work from home as the school takes a lot of energy.

- It is immediately necessary if we are to get these young people to want to go to school, the school has to be more flexible, says Cecilia, but concludes that it is not easy.
