Around 44,000 people with a recognized disability live in Aachen. In order for these people to be able to participate successfully, the social framework conditions must be designed in such a way that everyone can live a self-determined life. We are constantly faced with major challenges in our everyday lives. We often don't know whether we can get into a building with a wheelchair or rollator without barriers, whether there is a guidance system or a hearing system, or whether we can find a suitable leisure activity. Being well informed helps in every situation.

Procedural guides advise, accompany and support people aged 0 to 27 with disabilities and their families. They pave the way for far-reaching inclusive solutions. Enabling participation is one of the most important tasks for society. Participation is associated with basic life opportunities such as education and work, but also social encounters, self-realization and recognition.
