Tlaxcala invests 1.2 billion pesos in disability services

The government of Tlaxcala, led by Governor Lorena Cuéllar Cisneros, has allocated more than 1.209 billion pesos toward services for people with disabilities between 2022 and 2026. This investment represents a significant increase compared to the 57.5 million pesos spent during the 2017–2021 period.

The funding supports a comprehensive network including pensions, specialized rehabilitation, infrastructure, and vocational training. A major component of this expenditure is the Centro de Rehabilitación, Inclusión y Autismo de Tlaxcala (CRIAT), which cost over 631 million pesos to construct and equip. CRIAT is noted as the first center built and operated entirely with state resources using the Teletón model, with support from Fundación Teletón.

Additional investments include approximately 64 million pesos for the Centro de Capacitación para Personas con Discapacidad and over 428 million pesos to expand the coverage of the Pension for the Well-being of People with Disabilities in coordination with the Mexican federal government.
