Summary of project results
The creation of adapted housing conditions for young/adult impaired and commencement of a relatively independent life without parents is a problem. Therefore the objective was the psychological empowerment of young disabled people to be able to become independent and to ensure the most optimal working conditions and adapted housing for them through preparing school leaving young disabled people (and their families) for independent life. The project addressed the challenges through study visits; lifestyle camps; open day for local inquirers; workshop presenting the results; documentation and promotional materials. The outputs were delivered fully. The participants - young people either with Williams syndrome or other similar disabilities - became more independent, self-confident and balanced, while their family members became more accepting towards the independence of their children, and the activity of the community in general as well as the organization in particular increased.
