Danish legislation aims to integrate handicapped people as much as possible. Every regional authority must offer rehabilitation; teaching; and support in the home, the school, and the workplace. The Syncentralen in Vordingborg, the Vordingborg model, offers aid to people of all ages. This center provides expert advice, it teaches low vision people, and it tests special equipment for such people. Decentralization makes recent developments in the field available to more people. Needs are registered more precisely so that research and development is focused.
