THE TASKS AND GOALS OF HISO
  1. One task is to full-fill the need of athletic, recreational and leisure time activity for the disabled.
  2. Another task is to increase their knowledge about physical activity both as a part of rehabilitation and as a way to improve the self esteem of the participants.
  3. We also try to help those member organizations who want to participate in athletic competitions.

  4. Other important tasks are recruitment of the leaders and participants and finding suitable premises for the activities.

In HISO we have a vision! The vision is to make it possible for disabled people to gain not only activities in the organizations for the disabled, but also activities in other sport or leisure time organizations. We want to take part in the process of integration and make inclusion possible! People have many different needs, so has the disabled!

To make this successfully, it is very important to educate and inform the leaders in theese organizations, about different disabilities and how to act when a person with a certain disability comes to join them!

Sometimes you also need special equipment to participate and it is a task for us to try and solve even this question.
