Social Inclusion Services
Social inclusion services promote de-institutionalization of adults with disabilities who have lived most of their lives in institutions, simultaneously with integration in community houses offering an individualized approach to recovery. Pro ACT`s efforts are focused not only on de-institutionalizing adults with disabilities, offering community based alternatives, but they aim an authentic inclusion, starting from exploitation and community integration, recovering activities to add value to the person.
This way, Pro ACT Suport contributes to the radical change of perception regarding persons with disabilities, putting them in normal context and giving them value through roles such as: inhabitant in a house and into a community, employer, contributor, neighbour, friend, buyer etc.
