Financement direct

Le financement direct est un programme novateur permettant aux adultes ayant un handicap physique de devenir les employeurs de leurs propres accompagnateurs. Les préposés aident aux activités courantes de la vie, comme l'habillage, la toilette et le bain. En tant qu'employeurs, les participants sont entièrement responsables de la gestion de leurs propres employés dans le cadre d'un budget élaboré sur une base individuelle.
