(ANSA) – ROME, APR 15 – The latest implementing decree of the enabling law on disability (L.227/2021), which defines the condition of disability, introduces reasonable accommodation, reform the assessment procedures and multidimensional evaluation for the development and implementation of the individual and personalized “Life Project”.
“This is the heart of the reform – explains the Minister for Disabilities Alessandra Locatelli – which simplifies the system for ascertaining civil disability, eliminating review visits and which introduces the “Life Project”, as an accompanying tool in the lives of people. It is a cultural and civil revolution, which develops a new paradigm in the care of people with disabilities, eliminating the extreme fragmentations between health, social and health services and social services As early as this year, intense and widespread training will begin between organizations and categories for the adoption of this new model”.
“We are faced with an extraordinary opportunity for people with disabilities, for families, for our country – underlines Locatelli – We are starting to overturn the perspective and talk no longer just about welfare but about the valorisation of people, we simplify and de-bureaucratise the processes and above all we start from the desires and choices of each person, as foreseen by the UN Convention, to arrive at a dignified life path for each person. For this reason an important step in the new vision we propose is related to the modification of all ordinary laws: finally let’s remove the terms ‘handicapped’ and “handicapped person” to restore dignity and centrality to the ‘Person with a disability’. The challenge has just begun – she concludes – but I am very determined and I will not stop”. (HANDLE).
