What is the Disability Support Service? – Legal Background

According to the Act XXVI of 1998 on the Rights and Equal Opportunities of Persons with Disabilities, the Disability Support Service provides assistance through personal involvement to promote the independent living of persons with disabilities and to meet their everyday needs.

The aim of the service is to support persons with disabilities within their home environment, primarily by helping them access public services outside the home and by providing special assistance within the home to help maintain independent living.

The tasks of the Disability Support Service, depending on the type of disability, include in particular:

Ensuring access to services that meet basic needs and to public services (including special personal transportation and an accessible transport service);
Providing the personal and material conditions for access to healthcare, social services, and developmental activities appropriate to the person’s general health and type of disability;
Providing information, assistance with administration, and counselling, as well as ensuring access to services that promote social inclusion after counselling;
Ensuring access to sign language interpreting services;
Supporting the improvement of communication skills, strengthening family relations, and participation in self-help groups for persons with disabilities;
Providing certain basic social services adapted to the specific needs of persons with disabilities;
Supporting the social integration of persons with disabilities and ensuring the conditions for their equal participation in family, community, cultural, and leisure activities;
Facilitating access to services that promote employment and work opportunities for persons with disabilities.

How to Apply for the Service?

During the initial meeting and counselling session, we discuss what kind of support the person with a disability needs and how it can be provided within the framework of the Disability Support Service.

The service aims to meet the specific needs of the person with a disability, tailored to their age, situation, and health condition, while maintaining, utilizing, and developing existing abilities and easing the burden on family members and relatives.

If the applicant decides to use the service, the provider will inform the applicant (and, if applicable, the legal representative) about the earliest possible start date of the service.

The provision of care is based on a written agreement between the provider and the service user (or their legal representative). This agreement summarizes the key information regarding the individualized service to be provided.

To ensure that the service user or their legal representative has a full understanding of how the service operates, they will be introduced to the provider’s professional program.
