In the after school program, educators meets students with different disabilities with special needs. The role that the educators are given is to ensure that all students are being seen for who they are and that they receives the support that they need in their daily activities. This study aims at investigating what experiences educators have of working with children with these kind of disabilities and special needs in the after school program. The study was conducted through surveys that were given to educators at six different schools. The results shows that the educators' experiences of working with neccesary adjustments for children with disabilities based on the requirements, skills and financial conditions of the management documents may look different. However, the result is that additional adjustments are important and are performed daily.

Skolan har ett viktigt uppdrag när det kommer till extra anpassningar. Både svensk och internationell forskning lägger fokus på samarbete bland alla skolans professioner i utformningen av olika stödåtgärder (Scherp & Scherp, 2007; Hernandez, 2013; m.fl.). Lärare i denna studie utrycker vikten av att ett sådant samarbete. Detta samarbete ska enligt dem inte bara gälla lärare emellan, utan samtlig personal på skolan. I denna studie framkommer det att de intervjuade lärarna hade en mer bred uppfattning av begreppet extra anpassningar, än vad som anges i Skolverkets allmänna råd på området (Skolverket, 2014a). Denna mer breda uppfattning handlade inte bara om elever i svårigheter utan kan snarare kopplas samman med begrepp som allmänna anpassningar, eller individuella anpassningar. De ser anpassningar i allmänna ordalag som extremt viktiga för att alla elevers möjligheter till utveckling och lärande. Exempel på mer allmänna anpassningar var anpassningar för elevernas intresse och anpassningar för studiemotiverade elever. I denna studie framträder även läraryrkets dubbla uppdrag tydligt. Detta dubbla uppdrag handlar om att få eleverna att utvecklas mot kunskapskraven och ett demokratiskt fostrande uppdrag. Det framkommer att lärarna upplever båda dessa uppdrag som drivande i deras anpassningsarbete, vilket blir särskilt tydligt inom ämnet samhällskunskap. / The school has an important assignment when it comes to additional adaptations. Both Swedish and international research focuses on cooperation among all the schools' professions in the making of various support measures (Scherp & Scherp, 2007; Hernandez, 2013; m.fl.). Teachers in this study emphasize the importance of such cooperation. According to them, this cooperation should not only apply to teachers, but to all staff active within the school organisation. In this study, it is found that the interviewed teachers had a broader idea of the concept of additional adaptations then what is stated in Skolverkets Education's general advice on the subject in question (Skolverket, 2014). This broader view was not only about students with difficulties, but could rather be linked to concepts such as general adaptations, or individual adaptations. They see adaptations in general terms as extremely important for all pupils' opportunities for development and learning. Examples of more general adaptations were adaptations for student interests and adaptations for more study motivated students. In this study, the dual mission of the teaching profession becomes apparent. This dual mission is about getting students to evolve toward the knowledge requirements and a democratically fostering mission. It appears that the teachers experience both of these missions as a driving force in their adaptation work, which becomes particularly clear in the field of social sciences.

The purpose of the study was to increase knowledge about high school students' perspective on the school's support efforts in mathematics teaching. Bronfenbrenner's developmental ecology model was used as the theoretical framework for the design of the interview guide and result analysis. The study has a qualitative approach and the empirical evidence was collected through semi-structured interviews with ten high school students in the high school's university preparatory program at four different schools.  The selection of informants was made based on the students' self-perceived experiences of mathematics difficulties. After transcribing the audio files, the material was analyzed in its entirety using thematic content analysis. The result showed that additional adaptations in mathematics teaching to a greater extent need to meet the students' actual needs. The students in the study preferred a mathematics support in teaching, such as two teachers in the classroom instead of a support outside teaching. To prevent mathematics difficulties, the teaching needs to involve the students in different ways during the lessons, be interesting and understandable according to the study's informants. The language in mathematics could create barriers to accessibility, a factor which can be understood on both a micro and exo level. Several students highlighted the potential of the digital resources for mathematics and how these can be used as supplementary support. Finally, problems at the meso level need attention and transitions both between junior high and high school as well as between high schools need to be ensured regarding the students' need for additional adaptations and knowledge development in mathematics.
