‘I have something to contribute to working life’ – students with disabilities showcasing employability while on practical placement
This study explores the practical placement experiences of students with disabilities who are attending professional higher education in Norway.

In professional education, practical placement is a part of the curriculum. However, the transition from the campus classroom to practical placement puts an …
Gatekeeping in professional higher education in Norway
Despite legislative regulations, many students with disabilities face barriers to their participation in higher education. In professional education, the requirements for placement practice add to the barriers for both students who need to disclose their impairments and request special arrangements, and staff who need to make the arrangements to accommodate to the students’ special needs. The aim of this qualitative study was to explore the persp…
We are just ordinary people working hard to reach our goals!’ Disabled students’ participation in Norwegian higher education
In this article we shed light on the experiences of disabled students attending professional courses in higher education in Norway. The findings from this empirical study are based on interviews with 14 students with diverse impairments, ranging from the visible to the invisible. They faced barriers that they resolved to address on their own, using their capabilities and working ‘in silence’ to meet the expectations of normal students in academia…
Involving citizens’ occupation-based knowledge in public health planning
Health promotion has generally relied on traditional forms of community planning without including citizens, despite their occupation-based experiences and knowledge about the society in which they live. Acknowledging that it is a challenge for stakeholders to involve citizens in public health planning, this study explores why and how stakeholders might facilitate the involvement of citizens in public health planning as a part of a municipality's…
Negotiating individual accommodation in higher education
This article discusses ways of understanding the processes involved when disabled students negotiate accessibility in higher education. Despite legislation for universal design and political aims to increase the number of disabled students, individuals themselves have to take initiatives to obtain needed reasonable adjustments. Findings are drawn from a study of everyday lives of disabled students. Research methods employed were: time geographic …
The Meaning of Rehabilitation of Multi-Storey Housing for the Residents
The rehabilitation of blocks of flats can be planned and executed in very different ways. This article describes two case studies of rehabilitation processes, focusing on what can be learned from the organizational processes and the meaning of the rehabilitation for the residents. Residents, initiators, architects and contractors have all been interviewed. One of the case studies involved two blocks of flats with municipal apartments for substanc…
Time Geographic Method
This article highlights a time‐geographic approach to understanding the temporal patterns of people's occupations and their relationship to health and illness. It outlines the use of diaries to gather data and proposes that this method makes it possible to study the everyday life context of individuals, capturing i) Activity contexts (everyday context and project context) ii) Geographic context iii) Social context and iv) Experiential context. Th…
Everyday Occupations of Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy Students in Scandinavia
This study explored the repertoire of everyday occupations of Scandinavian occupational and physiotherapy students. A time geographic method was used, whereby students in different countries were asked to keep diaries for the same period. Diaries from 22 students were analysed, from which three main time consuming occupational projects were identified: 1) Professional training, 2) Care of oneself, and 3) Recreation. These projects are presented a…
Occupational Pattern
Patterns are regular ways of acting or doing something. The literature provides definitions at three levels; Action patterns at the level of bodily and anatomical function, activity patterns at the level of the ability to perform activities, and occupational patterns at the level of participation in social life. This article draws on insights arising from a time geographical study of Scandinavian bachelor students which presents a broader definit…
