Pathways to autonomy for people with disabilities

The projects envisage the implementation of interventions aimed at accelerating the process of de-institutionalisation by providing home care services to people with disabilities, in order to improve their autonomy and provide them with opportunities to access the world of work, including through information technology. In particular, interventions are envisaged to renovate home spaces and/or provide ICT devices to people with disabilities, together with training in digital skills.

Specifically, there will be two lines of intervention

1. renovation of buildings, also with the support of technology (domotisation), to make them accessible and more easily usable in the presence of disabilities
2. strengthening of the multidisciplinary team with social and health figures (carrying out multidimensional assessment and individualised planning)
   which must identify the beneficiaries and create pathways targeted to specific needs.

The interventions envisaged by the projects must be read in a future perspective, as they are aimed at guaranteeing persons with disabilities the achievement of greater autonomy and, at the same time, less dependence on the family (with a view to 'after us').

Six projects were presented in the area, referring to territorial aggregations identified on the basis of criteria such as population, territorial proximity and the distribution of health districts, which concern all the Valley Communities and the municipalities of Trento and Roveret

Enabling people with disabilities to achieve a higher quality of life through the implementation of pathways to independence.

One of the results to be achieved is the consolidation of the experimental paths already started through the social housing and independent living projects.

Target participation: for the 6 projects implemented at provincial level, at least 47 beneficiaries are expected to be involved.

Intermediate level implementing actors: the Lead Communities

Local level implementing actors: the municipalities owning buildings and the Communities as local level implementing actors

The implementation of the NRP in Trentino fits coherently into the programme framework for sustainable provincial development, according to the policies identified in the provincial Economic and Financial Document and its Update Note.

PNRR funding: € 2,799,258.77
