Care provision for persons with disabilities
Persons with disabilities may need guidance at home or in a facility. The Integrated Youth Care (IJH) and the Flemish Agency for Persons with Disabilities (VAPH) help them find it.
Minors can go to a Multifunctional Center for care and day care, among other things. They can also be guided by a home support service. They can also combine a personal assistance budget with a multifunctional center.
Adults who receive a personal budget can use that budget, among other things, to be helped by a care provider recognized by the VAPH.
Make your request
Minors with a disability who need long-term guidance at home or in a facility, apply via the Intersectoral gateway of the Growing Up Agency (Youth Aid).
Adults with a disability who need long-term guidance at home or in a facility must apply at VAPH before they turn 65.
Do you need help?
Anyone who needs help with the application can call on a multidisciplinary team (MDT).
- The MDT draws up a file in which it motivates the application.
- It also determines how much help someone needs in daily life.
- CM's Social Work department is a recognized MDT.
Important
Persons with a (suspected) disability who want to make limited use of support do not have to go through an application procedure. They can contact the service or facility concerned directly. This is called directly accessible aid.
