Work Groups

Working Groups
In line with  choices of the University Centre participants have a common interest in the assessment of problems of people with disabilities and in  their social and work  inclusion.
The groups are based on the awareness that  problems of persons with disabilities should be analyzed in details, using specific skills of experts trained for this purpose and integrating the conclusions reached in specific areas in a synthesis carried out by an interdisciplinary team .
This assessment will lead to formulating a  project  more specific and, at the same time, more integrated and anchored to  the individual life context.
