The Yucatán government has launched several initiatives through the DIF Yucatán and the Special Rehabilitation and Education Center (CREE) to support individuals with disabilities and neurodivergent needs. In early August 2026, Governor Joaquín Díaz Mena established a partnership with Uber Mexico to provide free transportation for patients at CREE. This program aims to ensure continuity in medical and therapy appointments by removing financial barriers for families. The initial phase involves 500 rides allocated based on socioeconomic criteria. Following this, the state implemented the RESPIRA Protocol, a training program led by CREE to educate 200 public servants from eight state agencies. The training focuses on assisting autistic individuals by teaching staff to recognize and manage sensory deregulation, aiming to prevent crises caused by environmental stimuli and ensure respectful accompaniment for both patients and caregivers. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-22: Yucatán trains public servants to assist autistic individuals DIF Yucatán has trained 200 public servants in the RESPIRA Protocol to improve the respectful and safe management of sensory deregulation in autistic individuals. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/yucatn-trains-public-servants-to-assist-autistic-individuals ### 2026-08-06: Yucatán Government and Uber Mexico Offer Free Rides for Disabled Therapy Patients Yucatán’s DIF and Uber Mexico will provide 500 free rides for disabled patients of the CREE, aiming to cut transport costs and improve therapy attendance, per a pact signed by Governor Joaquín Díaz Mena. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/yucatn-government-and-uber-mexico-offer-free-rides-for-disabled-therapy-patients --- Cite as: Yucatán disability and inclusion initiatives.
