Why is it a good practice of the Person-Centered Model?

Restaurants that employ people with disabilities, including those with Down syndrome, often aim not only to provide job opportunities but also to promote social inclusion and reduce stereotypes.

Integrated Assessment (Person, Family, Housing) and Life History

People with disabilities become visible in society and can feel valued.

Personalised Care and Support Plan for the Life Project

Employees gain practical skills and increase their independence.

Support groups

The employer promotes inclusion by hiring and integrating employees with disabilities.

Case Management and Resource Coordinator

The website provides information about the possibility of offering new forms of community-based services for adults with intellectual and/or psychosocial disabilities, as well as for their families (guardians, caregivers), and aims to create conditions for the target group to receive individualized services and the necessary support within the community

Highlined results

During the project, eight people will receive social workshop services at the pancake restaurant ‘Pirmas blynas’ five days a week. The purpose of social workshops is to increase the employment opportunities of working-age individuals with intellectual or psychosocial disabilities in the open labor market, as well as to develop, improve, and maintain general and specific work skills by performing meaningful work-related activities aimed at producing a specific product or providing a service.

Inspiring ideas for other enviorments. It can works! 😉

Including people with disabilities in the labor market influences societal attitudes. Seeing people with disabilities successfully working inspires customers, changes perceptions about possibilities and stereotypes. This can have a long-term positive impact on social attitudes.
