The aim of integration assistance services is to enable people with disabilities to participate in social life in a self-determined way. Needs are determined on an individual basis. For example, support can take the form of assistance in everyday life, in supported living arrangements, at work in companies or in workshops for people with disabilities. Children with disabilities can receive integration assistance, for example, to enable them to participate in daycare or school. One prerequisite is that the person is significantly restricted in their participation due to physical, cognitive or mental impairment.

Blind people receive state aid for the blind to compensate for the additional expenses and disadvantages caused by blindness.

Do you have any questions? EMiL, the district's social services department, can advise you on questions relating to integration assistance and rehabilitation. If you are entitled to integration assistance, it will refer you to suitable assistance and clarify which assistance is necessary and to what extent. Advice can be provided at the district office, at home or at an agreed location. The contact persons and further information can be found here.

Additional information and applications can be obtained from the clerks in the Integration assistance and assistance for the blind.
