![]() In France a new law was voted in by Parliament in 2005 after a lot of lobbying from different groups. But the battle is not yet won... Michel Salines, the vice-president of the APAJH (French acronym for the Association of Young and Adult Disabled People), says to Omar that each law is a “small victory”. More specifically, this law gives to every parent the right to register its disabled child at a neighbouring school. “It still has to be implemented so that all children will be accepted in French state schools. Human resources are lacking but organizations like ours fight to see that the law is implemented.” Created in 1962, APAHJ has 25,000 members and a staff of 13,850. It takes care of disabled people in around 600 establishments. It aims at promoting the dignity and citizenship of every disabled person and equality of access to several rights (right to go to school, to professional life, to social & cultural life…) www.apajh.org |
