People with disabilities include people who have long-term physical, mental, sensory or learning impairments. These impairments can make it difficult to participate in social life. A disability exists if the impairment lasts longer than 6 months. The Social Ministry Service offers a wide range of support and is committed to equality and accessibility in order to promote participation in the labor market and in social life.
