Die Universität Leuwen  sucht Projektpartner zur transnationalen Zusammenarbeit im Bereich „Persönliche Assistenz für Menschen mit Behinderung“.  Ansprechpartnerin ist Frau Seghers .

Many European countries developed systems of cash budgets that allow people with disabilities to hire (a) personal assistant(s). The idea of personal assistance is to provide support that is tailored to the individual as far as possible and to optimise the person’s influence over how the support is arranged.

Sometimes the person with functional impairment wants someone of his own family (parent, partner, child, brother, sister,..) to become his/her personal assistant. And parents of a minor can consider to take the job of personal assistant themselves.

We want to focus on this specific career choice and examine what points of view can be taken into consideration in order to take a deliberate career decision.

It is our aim to develop a tool to support family members of people with disabilities in taking a deliberate career decision. We will offer them the different points of view and criteria to be considered and some best practices.
