IDEAL partners join the “Building an inclusive society for autistic people” campaign for #AutismDay2023 

3 April, 2023

In the month marking #AutismDay2023 on 2 April, the IDEAL partners join Autism-Europe’s awareness-raising campaign “Building an inclusive society for autistic people”, an opportunity to reflect on the advances made so far for the autism community and the work that remains to improve the lives of autistic people and their families. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the urgent need of making online and virtual educational services available and accessible to autistic people. Our project consortium is working together to eliminate the digital gap experienced by autistic people with high support needs in Vocational and Educational Training contexts by facilitating autonomous equal access to digital technologies to guarantee the continuity of autistic people’s education, and their social and personal development. 

The pathway to digital readiness of autistic people, their families and education professionals requires accessible digital technologies (training platforms) for people in need of high level of support and specialised training for education professionals in the use of these technologies. In this sense, as stated in AE´s manifesto, to raise awareness about autism and value autistic people, the access to education should be free from barriers, and that is the aim IDEAL partners work for. 

Autistic people can live independently in their communities with appropriate support services. They should have access to different types and levels of support depending on their individual needs and strengths. 

With its awareness-raising campaign “Building an inclusive society for autistic people” to mark World Autism Awareness Day 2023, Autism-Europe calls on European, national and regional policymakers and other stakeholders to ensure the full enjoyment of the rights and needs of autistic people in Europe, according to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD). The UNCRPD has been ratified by 45 out of the 46 member countries of the Council of Europe (CoE), including by all EU member states and by the European Union itself in 2010. 

To implement the UNCRPD at EU level, the European Commission launched in March 2021 its second Strategy for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which will run until 2030. Autistic people’s needs should be adequately addressed when implementing it in all areas, both at EU and Member States levels.
