  3. Article 19 CRPD

  4. Definition of Independent Living “IL is having the same range of options and same degree of self-determination that people without a disability take for granted.” (A. Ratzka) “IL/Living independently means that individuals with disabilities are provided with all necessary means enabling them to exercise choice and control over their lives and make all decisions concerning their lives” (General Comment No 5 on Article 19 CRPD)

  5. Key principles • Refers to ALL disabled persons • Choice: not limited to the place of residence, but includes all aspects of a person’s living arrangements, incl. lifestyle • Rights-based approach: IL as a right, instead of medical, social or charity care; right to choose services and service providers, with the aim to realise full inclusion within the community • Mainstreaming: no IL if housing is only provided in specifically designed areas, with disabled people living in the same building, complex or neighbourhood

  6. Overview of examples Legislation and funding • State funded peer-counselling (Estonia) • Direct payments (Ireland)

  7. Overview of examples Community-based support • Peer-counselling for women with disabilities (Austria) • Supported living for people with intellectual disabilities (Croatia) • Supported decision-making (Czech Republic) • Mobile mental health units (Greece) • Personal assistance for people with complex support needs (Sweden)
