Services for people with disabilities have traditionally been provided in segregated institutions. They are moving from institutional care to community living requires community based services to Supports Model for people with disabilities, offering people with disabilities choice over where and with whom they live and providing the necessary supports for community participation and independently living in the community.This reorientation changes the roles of service users and providers. Rather than being service ‘recipients’, people become active participants in planning and obtaining the supports they feel will best meet their needs and goals.These approaches become in the Empowerment of disabled persons, which is the process of enabling people to increase control over their lives, to gain control over the factors and decisions that shape their lives, to increase their resources and qualities and to build capacities to gain access, partners, networks, a voice, in order to gain control.for proper implementation of the Support Model it is needed to:• Increase awareness about the usefulness and potential of its exploitation• Increase cooperation among every stakeholder involved in the Support Network, improving the effectiveness of the actions carried by professionals and families.• To give harmonized methodologies and tools, based on successful best practices • To develop practical cases, which enforce the credibility of the Support Model, the skills of professionals an families and Self-esteem of persons with disabilities.IDIPOWER project proposes the development of an INNOVATIVE collaborative and participatory methodology focused in overcoming the previously mentioned competence limiting factors through the next main bases;• Learning and joint training of families, professionals and people with disabilities.• Consideration of the person as the focus of the intervention, and who defines its interests, accompanied by the professionals who design the itinerary of services.• As a result of the implementation of the methodology, Personal Projects will be developed: based on the interests, needs, abilities and environment of the individual, in order to facilitate their personal promotion and community participation.The consortium includes:6 entities working in the field of Support Models for disabled persons, including a big collective of professionals working with disabled persons, persons with disabilities and their families and used to manage awareness and training addressed to professionals, persons with disabilities and their families.1 Technological Centre specialized in Collaborative Learning methodologies and in the development and application of ICT technologies to facilitate its implementation. This Technological Centre is also used to work with disabled persons according to Quality of Life Criteria. Through the execution of this Project the next results will be obtained;• Determination of key success factors and best practices for the implementation of Support Model for disabled persons including the promotion of their autonomy and the collaboration of the whole support community around them, especially families and professionals of disability.• Development of 1 Collaborative Training Methodology and 1 Set of Tools addressed to disabled persons, familiars and professionals for facilitating the implementation of the Support Model, based on the empowerment of disabled persons and the participation and collaboration of all the support stakeholders.• Development of 1 e-Collaborative Platform, including awareness and training contents, tools and social applications for boosting the implementation of the collaborative methodology• Implantation of the Collaborative Training Methodology through direct training actions divided into Workshops addressed to 400 disabled persons, familiars and professionals.• Creation of 6 Support Units in the participant entities related to disability devoted to the application of the Training Methodology after the completion of the project, with the objective of training about 1.600 disabled persons, familiars and professionals in the period 2017-2020• Awareness activities at regional and European level addressed to the global stakeholders related to the disability in order to create a multiplier effect

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a motor disorder accompanied by sensory, communication, behavioral, cognitive and perceptual disturbances, affecting movement and posture. 2 to 2,5 per thousand births in Europe has CP (1 per 500 persons = 1.000.000). CP cannot be cured, but persons can live a full life with proper care and supports, improving movements, intellectual development, level of communication and social relationships, improving their Quality of Life (QoL) according to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with DisabilitiesFeeding and physical activity are closely linked the QoL of persons with CP (PCP), especially with their physical and emotional wellbeingHowever, inclusive feeding and physical activity are not fully implemented due to a lack of; • Awareness and knowledge of parents and professionals about the effectiveness of inclusive feeding techniques from the earliest stages of life• Feeding ability of many adults with CP who have not been adequately supported in its childhood. They are not sufficiently aware and trained on the possibilities for accessing to a healthy and satisfying feeding and accessible tools at their disposal• Awareness and understanding of the impact on the emotional well-being of feeding aggressive techniques usually employed and the importance of food as an element of pleasure and exercise of rights• Initiative and knowledge of PCP and families regarding their participation in inclusive physical activities, alternatives and opportunities CP-WELLBEING is launched with the main objective of increasing the competences (attitudes, skills, knowledge) of Persons with Cerebral Palsy (CP), families and professionals about how to implement inclusive feeding and physical activity with a global Wellbeing and QoL approach, through an innovative training program.The project has the next specific objectives:• To raise awareness and motivate the full collective about the importance of inclusive feeding and phys• ical activity as a tool for improving QoL of PCP.• To transfer knowledge, tools and guidelines to parents of children with CP and professionals to enable inclusive feeding and integrative physical activity from the earliest stages of life• To transfer knowledge, tools and guidelines for adults with CP, families and professionals, regarding inclusive feeding and physical activityNext partners from 6 countries will participate:• 4 entities working in the field of supporting persons with Cerebral Palsy (AVAPACE, FAPPC, HURT, IL CERCHIO), involving a big collective of persons, families and professionals. • 1 University & Clinic specialized in Nutrition and Healthy Lifesytles, with experience in developing training actions in this field, including actions addressed to persons with special needs• 1 Technological Centre specialized in development of ICT solutions adapted to collectives with special needsThe next results will be obtained;• Co-Created Methodological Guide will be developed, with the direct participation of End Users, with the main objective of determining the key contents, methodologies and tools to be developed• Training Materials addressed to persons with Cerebral Palsy, families and professionals for facilitating the implementation 4of inclusive feeding and integrative and adapted physical activity.• Designed Experiential Training Activities addressed to persons with Cerebral Palsy, families and professionals for facilitating the implementation of inclusive feeding and integrative and adapted physical activity.• Development of an e-Training Platform, including awareness, training contents and tailored and adapted ICT-Games solutions for supporting the implementation of Training Materials and Designed Experiential Training Activities.• Creation of 4 CP-WELLBEING UNITS in all the CP-Associations of the Consortium in order to ensure the sustainable exploitation of the project after the project lifetime.• Development of Dissemination Actions addressed to the European collective related to persons with Cerebral Palsy.VALIDATION ACTIONS will be organized on each country, based on the practical implementation of Training Materials, Designed Experiential Activities and e-Training Platform, involving about 40 persons with Cerebral Palsy and families and 5 caregivers. Evaluation and analysis will be done. Project Activities will be completed with Management and Implementation actions IMPACT during the project lifetime:CP-WELLBEING will benefit a number of persons during the project lifetime:• 160 persons with Cerebral Palsy and their families will be trained (40 in Spain, Italy, Portugal and Croatia), through their participation in the validation actions • 20 professionals (5 in in Spain, Italy, Portugal and Croatia) will be trained, through their participation in the validation actions • 1500 persons with Cerebral Palsy, families and professionals (300 in Spain, Italy, Portugal, Croatia and Germany), will be aware, through the dissemination actions.

When we talk about People with Intellectual Disabilities, community’s still tend to have a more traditionalist and protective approach, but new Models, including Quality of Life, start the discussion in how we must direct to the abilities and full potential of the IDP’s and not to focus on their disabilities. With this in mind, the IDPLiving project has is background on the embodiment of The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities that states they have the right to Living independently and being included in the community; with equal choices and opportunities to participate in their community. The OBJECTIVES of the IDPLiving are: -To raise awareness and motivate the whole collective about the abilities of IDP’s; -Boost the evolution of IDP’s to Accommodation/Supporting housing and Full Independence,enhancing their quality of life; -Transfer guidelines about how to develop basic daily routines in the main contexts of life; -Transfer guidelines about how to exploit ICT tools that can be used as assistive technology; -Provide the trainees with real life experiences to apply the trained competences during and after the training course. One of the main APPROACHES that was innovative and that made a big impact on the whole project was the process of co-creation and co-production, involving actively IDP's and responding to the main objective of the self-advocate movement “nothing for us, without us” and this meant actively to listen and ask the contributions of IDP's, to build a training program, that is driven by their priorities and needs.The PROFILE OF THE DIRECT PARTICIPANTS in the development of the project where: - People with Intellectual Disabilities (a total of 58); - Families of IDP's (a total of 31 relatives)- Professionals (a total of 48).The project achieve all the RESULTS establish, as follows:METHODOLOGICAL GUIDE (IO1) was developed, with the direct participation of IDP's, families and professionals, through the realization of 2 Co-Created Sessions, with the main objective of determining the key contents of the training program, methodologies and ICT Tools needed for improving the competences of IDP's and their supports for increasing their Independent Living in the Community. They identified and choose the following modules to be developed in the Training Materials: Quality of Life; Shared Living; House Management; Going Out; Healthy Lifestyle; Safe and Healthy sexuality. TRAINING MATERIALS (IO2) where created to improve the critical competences of IDP's, relatives and professionals for facilitating the improvement of IDP's competences to deal and face daily life activities and therefore to enhance their Independent Living opportunities.The materials are diverse and can be face to face sessions, online sessions, and outdoor activities, with the resource of templates, games, APPS, videos and others. DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTAL TRAINING ACTIVITIES (IO3), in a form of a Manual for Trainers for enhancing the practical and experiential training of IDP's, relatives and professionals, using the training materials within real environments.E-TRAINING PLATFORM (IO4) was created, that allows free access of the training materials and a field to create courses, with the different modules developed and that can be adapted to the different profiles of IDP's. This is an interactive space and tool to the participants and trainers and also can be a forum to share experiences between the different participants.The partners also assume the Creation of 5 IDPLIVING UNITS in order to ensure the sustainable exploitation of the project after the project lifetime. The partners assume this responsibility in the activities plan of organizations for 2020, to assure continuity of the project and to promote continuous innovation thought the implementation of new ideas for training materials and training experiences, keeping the E-Platform updated.The consortium developed a high range of DISSEMINATION ACTIONS addressed to the European collective related to IDP's and directly reach more than 5000 persons trough National and European events, Multiplier Events and then indirectly reach much more trough publications and social networks, because a flyer was created, as well a Facebook and you tube channel for the project, along a website.The RESULTS from TRAINING PROGRAM, confirmed that the quality indicators of the project where reach. Evaluation of global satisfaction was of 95% and Evaluation of acquisition of competences achieve a global value of 91%. The participants validate the real impact that the methodology developed of co-creation and co-production, through the DETAS and training materials, are very good tools to enhance and promote the participation of IDP's and highly promote their independent living in their contexts of life in their communities. Also we became aware that other targets in disability field are very interested in accessing the training program developed.

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a motor disorder often accompanied by sensory, communication, behavioral, cognitive and perceptual disturbances. Between 0,20-0,25% births in Europe has CP (> 1.000.000 EU-28 citizens) CP cannot be cured, but persons can live a full life with proper care and supports, according to the rights determined by the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD, 2006) Family-Centered Early Intervention (FCEI) is an innovative quality service and recommended practice, making a family more competent in mobilizing intra and extra-family resources, which positively influence the child, parent and family´s functioning Family Empowerment is achieved through positive relationship between family, professional and social networks In the field of Cerebral Palsy, FCEI is of outmost relevance, because Children with CP have complex long-term needs that can only be fully addressed through this model (FCEI for Children With CP and Their Families. Susanne King et al). Hovewer, the most work models remain focused primarily on the Child-Centered Model with a rehabilitative approach and FCEI is not enough implemented (Cómo implementar el modelo centrado en la familia en la intervención tempran. Anales de psicología, 2017, vol. 33, nº 3), due to the lack of, among others; • Skills of Families for increasing their empowerment • Skills of Professionals for implementing FCEI • Collaboration inside Networks of Informal Supports • Consideration of Adults with CP as part of informal supports, losing the potential of their own experience • Access to existing knowledge, best practices and tools CP-EARLY INTERVENTION is launched with the main objective of increasing the competences (attitudes, skills, knowledge) of Families, Professionals and Adults with CP on how to enhance implementation of Family-Centered Early Intervention in the Cerebral Palsy collective through an innovative training program The project has the next specific objectives: • Promote Empowerment of Families • Provide Guidelines and Tools to support the implementation of FCEI in CP • Strength the Networks of Informal Supports and increase the collaboration and sharing inside them • Include Adults with Cerebral Palsy as part of this Networks of Informal Supports Through the execution of this Project the next results will be obtained; • Co-Created Methodological Guide (I.O.1) will be developed, involving the direct participation of End Users, with the main objective of determining the key contents, methodologies and tools needed for creating and improving the critical competences of Families, Professionals and Adults with CP about how to implement the Family-Centered Early Intervention. • Training Materials (I.O.2) addressed to Families, Professionals and Adults with CP about how implement the Family-Centered Early Intervention. • Design of Experiential Training Activities (I.O.3); They will be the core of the Training Program and they will enhance the practical and experiential training of Families, Professionals and Adults with CP, including the optimal and oriented exploitation of aforementioned Training Materials within real environments. • Development of an e-Training Platform (I.O.4), for supporting the implementation of the Training Methodology, including Training Materials, Workspace and link to applicable ICT Tools. • Creation of 5 CP-EARLY INTERVENTION UNITS in the Associations working with persons with CP in order to ensure the sustainable exploitation of the project after the project lifetime. • Development of Dissemination Actions addressed to the European collective related to CP and with the collective working in the field of Early Intervention CP-EARLY INTERVENTION will benefit a number of persons during the project lifetime 120 persons will be trained, including families, professionals and Adults with Cerebral Palsy (30 in Spain, Portugal, Croatia and Italy) through their participation in the validation actions of Training Materials, Designed Experiential Training Activities and e-Training Platform. • 2.000 families, professionals, Adults with Cerebral Palsy and other stakeholders around Cerebral Palsy (500 in Spain, Portugal, Croatia and Italy) and 2.000 families, professionals and Adults with other Disabilities at EU level will be aware, through multiplier events and dissemination actions to be carried on through the project website, newsletters, leaflets, etc…

EU-27 citizens > 65 years will be about 103.2 millions and > 80 years will be 29.3 millions in year 2020 (DG ECFIN /Ageing Report 2012)Mobility is defined as the ability of an individual to purposively move about her environment. Mobility limitations, or Reduced Mobility, are impairments in movement and affect between one third and one half of adults age 65 or older. Mobility is an important predictor of Quality of Life (QoL) among Elder Persons and a measure of successful aging (www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0197457217302057). Assistive Technologies (ATs) offers products, resources, methods, strategies, practices and services that promote the functionality of Persons with Reduced Mobility, aiming at their autonomy, independence, QoL and social inclusion. Its development and deployment can be considered an attempt to neutralize the barriers caused by the Reduced Mobility and related disability (Assistive technology and its relationship to the quality of life of people with disabilities. Rev Ter Ocup Univ São Paulo. 2017 Jan.-Apr.;28(1):54-62.)ERMAT is launched with the main objective of increasing the competences (attitudes, knowledge, skills) of Elder Persons with Reduced mobility, Informal Caregivers and Professionals on the application of Assistive Technologies for improving their Quality of Life.Specific objectives:- To promote sense of self-care and care supported by ATs - To inform about available ATs and their application to the specific needs of EPRM- Create awareness and trust about the importance and possibilities of using ATs for improving QoL of EPRM, increasing their autonomy and community participation. - To create digital and technological skills, which allow EPRM and supports to properly exploit ATs- To create an e-learning environment that could facilitate the access of EPRM to the training contents- To involve Informal Caregivers, Professionals and other Elder Persons as Peer-Supports that will support those EPRM that are not able to directly attend to the training activities.Through the execution of this Project the next results will be obtained;- Co-Created Methodological Guide (I.O.1) will be developed, involving the direct participation of End Users, with the main objective of determining the key contents, methodologies and tools needed for creating and improving the critical competences of Elder Persons with Reduced Mobility (EPRM), Informal Caregivers and Professionals on how to apply Assistive Technologies (ATs) for improving their Quality of Life (QoL)- Training Materials (I.O.2) addressed to EPRM, Informal Caregivers and Professionals on how to apply Assistive Technologies (ATs) for improving their Quality of Life (QoL)- Designed Practical Training Activities (I.O.3); They will be the core of the Training Program and they will include the design of Face-to-Face and Online Sessions and will be based on Group Dynamics and, specially, Practical Activities, to be implemented with the common participation of EPRM, informal caregivers and professionals where they will be directly trained in how to exploit available ATs for improving their mobility and QoL through putting into practice methods and tools during the Training Activities, both in institutions and homes- Development of an e-Training Platform (I.O.4), for supporting the implementation of the Training Methodology, including Training Materials, Workspace and link to applicable ICT/Assistive Technologies Tools.- Creation of 7 SUPPORT UNITS in the members of the Consortium in order to ensure the sustainable exploitation of the project after the project lifetime.- Implementation of 6 Multiplier Events on the application of Assistive Technologies for improving the Quality of Life of EPRM on each country addressed to stakeholders that could multiply the impact of the project- Development of Dissemination Actions addressed to the European collective related to Elder Persons. VALIDATION PILOT ACTIONS will be implemented involving 120 persons (20 in Romania, Spain, Croatia, Slovenia, Germany and Greece) including EPRM, Informal Caregivers and Professionals for validation of the project results.Impact of Validation Actions during project lifetimeIn the short term, the project will increase the competences of 120 persons, including Elder Persons with Reduced Mobility (EPRM), Informal Caregivers and Professionals (20 in Romania, Spain, Croatia, Slovenia, Germany and Greece) through their participation in the validation actions of Training Materials, Designed Practical Training Activities and e-Training Platform.Impact of Dissemination Actions during project lifetimeIn the short term 3.000 Elder Persons with Reduced Mobility (EPRM), Informal Caregivers and Professionals (500 in Romania, Spain, Croatia, Slovenia, Germany and Greece) will be aware, through multiplier events and dissemination actions to be carried on through the project website, newsletters, leaflets, etc…
