Description

Law No. 1410 deals comprehensively with the situation of persons with disabilities. It intends to define the concept of disability, taking into consideration the practical consequences resulting from the substantial definitive or at least long term alteration of one or more physical, sensory, mental, cognitive or psychic function of the person, in his interaction with his living environment.

This text seeks to define measures of any kind (human, technical or animal) to ensure greater independence of the disabled person in accordance with his life project.

The objective of this text is also to guarantee the rights and freedoms of that person. It provides, in particular for access to employment of the person with disability, grants various allowances to ensure to persons with disabilities adequate resources, facilitates access to the city and to urban transportation and provides for the care and education of children with disabilities. Arrangements are now in place to recognize the status of the caregiver.

La loi n°1410 traite de manière globale la situation des personnes handicapées. Elle entend definir la notion de handicap en prenant en considération les conséquences concrètes resultant de l’altération substantielle definitive ou, au moins, durable d’une ou plusieurs fonctions physiques, sensorielles, mentales, cognitives ou psychique de la personne dans son interaction avec son environnement, son cadre de vie.

Ce texte tend à définir les mesures de toute nature (besoins en aide humaine, technique ou animalière) permettant de garantir la plus grande autonomie de la personne handicapée dans le respect de son projet de vie.

L’objectif de ce texte est également de veiller au respect des droits et libertés de cette même personne. Son dispositive énonce en particulier l’accès à l’emploi et à l’aide par le travail de la personne handicapée, l’octroi de diverses allocations en vue de garantir à la personne handicapée des ressources suffisantes, l’accès facilité aussi bien dans la ville qu’aux moyens de transports urbains, ainsi que l’accueil et la scolarité de l’enfant handicapé. Des dispositions sont désormais instaurées pour reconnaître le statut de l’aidant familial.
