Center For Kommunikation

What Center For Kommunikation does

Center For Kommunikation (CFK) is a municipal institution under Herning Kommune in Herning, Denmark, providing specialized rehabilitation and compensatory services for individuals with communication disabilities. The center serves citizens with speech difficulties, hearing loss, vision impairment, acquired brain injury, concussion effects, ADHD/ASF needs, and requirements for information and communication technology (ICT) assistive aids, along with their families. Services are organized across seven specialized clinical departments — Hearing (Høre), Vision (Syn), Speech (Tale), Neuro (brain injury and concussion), IKT (assistive technology and AAC), ADHD/ASF, and Neuropsychology — each led by a department head and supported by multidisciplinary teams of audiologists, speech therapists, neuropsychologists, special educators, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and specialized opticians.

CFK's service portfolio encompasses assessment, guidance, education, assistive device testing and instruction, mobility and ADL training, neuropsychological assessment and supervision, professional courses, and community-based programs such as the Aphasia Community (Afasifællesskabet). The technical core comprises specialized assistive technology for reading/writing support, alternative and augmentative communication (AAC), and structure/planning aids, along with hearing-aid adjustment post public-clinic treatment and specialized optical and low-vision clinical work. A digital cross-sectoral patient journey guide for hearing difficulties is being piloted with Region Midt. Partnerships span DTHS (the national speech-hearing-vision umbrella), Synscenter Refnæs (Braille initiative), Dansk Center for Hjernerystelse (ARCOM project), Hjernesagen (aphasia community), and SDU (PhD research on aphasia and family mental health).

The business model is anchored by multi-year subscription agreements with six Central Jutland municipalities (Herning, Struer, Lemvig, Ringkøbing-Skjern, Ikast-Brande, Holstebro), supplemented by fee-for-service billings at fixed hourly rates to job centers, educational institutions (SPS support for hearing-impaired students), other communication centers, VUC, and SU-styrelsen. Services are delivered through eight physical locations across Central Jutland plus home visits, with demand generated via municipal referrals, healthcare provider referrals (ENT specialists, hospitals, Region Midt), and direct citizen contact. CFK is a government state entity with no equity funding, no commercial revenue model, and no publicly disclosed financials.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• GN Hearing (Resound): Danish-based global hearing aid and audiology solutions company. Adjacent comparable — operates in hearing technology and clinical services — but as a large commercial incumbent rather than a municipal rehabilitation center.
• Region Midt (Central Denmark Region) Hearing Clinics: Public hospital-based audiology clinics under Central Denmark Region that handle diagnostic hearing care and refer into CFK. Comparable hearing clinical capability but embedded within the broader regional hospital system rather than a specialist municipal center.
• William Demant (Oticon/Demant): Global hearing healthcare company providing hearing aids, audiometric diagnostics, and hearing care services. Comparable in hearing-tech and audiology domain, but operates as a commercial manufacturer and retailer versus CFK's public rehabilitation role.
• Videncenter for Specialundervisning (VISO): National Danish knowledge center under the Ministry of Education providing specialist advice, consulting, and professional development on disability and special-education topics — overlapping with CFK's advisory and training offerings but at national policy level.

Direct peers

• Hjerneskadecenter Virum / Hjerneskadeforeningen: Danish brain injury service providers offering rehabilitation, family support, and return-to-work programs — closely comparable to CFK's Neuro department and an overlapping partner via the ARCOM project.
• Kommunikationscentret i Region Hovedstaden: Municipal/regional communication center serving the Copenhagen area with speech, hearing, and assistive technology services — the closest functional analogue to CFK in another major Danish region, also a fellow DTHS member.
• Dansk Center for Hjernerystelse: National concussion research and rehabilitation center collaborating with CFK on ARCOM. Highly comparable in mission (post-concussion return-to-work) and clinical focus, but operating at a national scale rather than a municipal one.
• Center for Specialundervisning (CSU) – multiple Danish kommuner: Network of Danish municipal special-education centers providing assistive technology, AAC, and communication support to children and adults with disabilities — overlapping mandate and service mix with CFK's IKT and special-education offerings.
• Synscenter Refnæs: Danish municipal vision/special-needs institution providing specialized services for visually impaired citizens. Directly comparable to CFK's Syn (Vision) department and explicitly collaborates with CFK on the Braille initiative for children and youth.

Others

• Høreforeningen (Danish Hearing Association): Danish patient and advocacy organization for people with hearing loss. Thematically and ecologically linked to CFK's hearing services — referral source and advocacy counterpart — though not a direct service competitor.
