Organisation: WAG Assistenzgenossenschaft (a registered not-for-profit cooperative)
Personal Assistance (PA) enables persons in need of assistance to live their lives as they want to. As the “experts” in their own private and professional affairs, disabled persons decide for themselves decide who, when, where and in what way such assistance is given. At the entrepreneurial level, the organisational model of a cooperative ensures that persons with disabilities organise their lives together, and cooperatively, in accordance with the principles of the Independent Living Movement. Only persons with disabilities are employed in management of the cooperative and as consulting (peer counselling) staff.
