Veneto disability reform rollout

In early August 2026 the Veneto regional government approved a €1.44 million training programme to support Italy’s national disability reform. The plan, funded by the Ministry for Disabilities, will be delivered across all 24 social‑territorial areas from early 2027 and is built around the “Project of Life” approach that places people with disabilities at the centre of care.

A few days later the region announced the first concrete steps of implementation. Together with Unioncamere del Veneto, it launched a free online training course for operators of the Single Desk for Business Activities (SUAP) that will run from September to November 2026, funded under the 2026 PMI Convention and linked to a broader digitalisation effort supported by the PNRR. At the same time, the council approved a new model to improve the integration of students with disabilities in schools, introducing regional data mapping and a pilot school‑site assistant role, with monitoring to be carried out by the Regional Directorate of Social Services and ULSS companies and a final operational model due by May 2027.
