Disability and neurodivergence support in Calabria

Overview

In Reggio Calabria, municipal authorities have implemented new coordination processes to ensure that school assistance services for students with disabilities, including autonomy and communication support, are active from the first day of the school year. Councilor Lucia Fio noted this represents a significant change from previous years when families faced months of waiting.

Expanding on regional welfare efforts, the Calabria Region has launched the ‘Centri Aperti. Vite Libere’ (Open Centers. Free Lives) initiative. This program allocates over 10.3 million euros to establish 20 multipurpose centers across various socio-sanitary districts. The initiative targets individuals with autism and neurodivergence, specifically those aged 16 to 40, aiming to provide a personalized bio-psycho-social approach focused on autonomy, inclusion, and employment.
