Multidisciplinary individual rehabilitation

You may be entitled to multidisciplinary individual rehabilitation provided by Kela, if you are suffering from an illness with a broad range of symptoms that cause you a variety of disabling problems. The illness may also require a more individual planning of the rehabilitation process and its delivery.

The aim of multidisciplinary individual rehabilitation is to improve or maintain the client’s ability to cope with everyday tasks and to work and study. The rehabilitation comprises both individual and group-based programmes.
