EASPD wants the rights of service providers for disabled people to be respected in all European countries. We work on all policies that are important for our members. Our main policy areas are: - Inclusive Education - Employment for Persons with Disabilities - Community Living - Social Inclusion - Non-discrimination - Human Rights

EASPD works for and with people with disabilities and their families, with the European Commission,the european Parliament, the Council of Europe and other organisations. We want to have IMPACT- so the right things get done. We want to give INFORMATION- to tell our member what is happening. We want INNOVATION- to do things better.

EASPD represents Service Providers for Persons with Disabilities. Service Providers are organisations. Their job is to help people with disabilities and to help them the way they want.

The European Union is very important for everybody in Europe. The European Union is a group of European countries working together to give a better life to the people living in Europe. We use “EU” as short for “European Union”. The EU writes laws and takes important decisions. The work of the EU creates changes in the lives of people living in Europe. EASPD talks to the people of the EU to make sure they do not forget service providers for persons with disabilities. EASPD proposes the EU new laws. These new laws will make the lives of disabled people better. For example, EASPD worked with the EU on a new law against discrimination.
