The aim in this study was to create an understanding of how staff within agencys connected to The Act Concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS) work to realize the individual's self-determination through work with implementation plans. In order to enable a deeper understanding of how self-determination is realized, we used the theory of empowerment, with a focus on the transfer of power from staff to the individual. The above was done through a qualitative study where we interviewed eight staff who work in daily activities or residential arrangements with special service. The findings indicatesthat staff are positive about working with implementation plans and can see how these can ensure the individual's self-determination. Other findings were that staffexperience communication as something that both limits and enables selfdetermination. Some of the conclusions that were drawn are that flexibility in formulations of goals enables the individual to maintain power even after the implementation plan has been established, and that the staff's approach shows how much and what power they want to transfer to users in both the work with implementation plans and in general.
