Geschäftsführender Vorstand Christian Pfeuffer erklärt:
Der Verein setzt sich für Inklusion ein.
Alle Menschen sollen überall dabei sein können.

So können Menschen mit Behinderung selbstbestimmt leben.
Nothing about us,
without us.
What we offer
Personal assistance
Personal assistance helps people with disabilities to live independently.
People can live where they want and organize their lives the way they want.
An assistant helps in many areas: with care, in the household and with personal tasks.
Beratung.Bildung.Begegnung - OBA
We advise on many topics relating to disability.
For example, letters from public authorities, forms, financial assistance, aids, barriers, personal problems and assistance.
We offer educational programs and meetings for all people.
There, people with and without disabilities can come together, talk to each other and learn from each other.
Supplementary independent participation advice - EUTB
The Participation counseling Middle Franconia Northeast helps people with disabilities and people with long-term illnesses.
Relatives can also seek advice.
The consultation is free of charge, independent and secret.
We help with many topics, for example: Housing, assistance and care, work and training, partnership and family, leisure, aids, applications and rights.
The consultation is at eye level.
The advisors have a disability themselves.
The consultation can take place in the office, on the phone, by e-mail or at your home.

Current projects
Perspektivwechsel - Change of perspective
Our range shows how people with disabilities or chronic illnesses live.
In workshops, lectures and small exercises - for example with a wheelchair or blindfold - participants can gain their own experience.
This is how we promote understanding and compassion.
We inform schools, companies and groups about inclusion and accessibility and draw attention to what is important for this.
Alles was Recht ist - Everything about the law
Menschen mit Behinderung sollen ihre Rechte kennen.
We inform people with disabilities about their rights.
Wir ermutigen sie. Damit sie ihre Rechte einfordern.
Wir erklären den Ämtern und Kostenträgern:
What do people with disabilities need in everyday life?
What do the decisions made by the authorities mean for people with disabilities?
We are looking for legal experts.
Die Fachleute helfen Menschen mit Behinderung. Damit sie ihre Rechte einfordern können.
Herzensmensch - Kindhearted
People with disabilities have the same wishes as other people:
Love, friendship, sexuality and family.
However, it is often more difficult to find new contacts.
Or a partner outside their own environment.
With Herzensmensch - Kindhearted we help people with disabilities to do this,
partnership, sexuality, family and friendship.
