Protocol for social intervention with people with disabilities who require support to exercise their legal capacity

Abstract

In Cantabria, there is a broad group of people with disabilities that are in need of support in order to be able to practice their legal capacity. These people can benefit from sanitary social work interventions, oriented to explore their family and formal support systems, as well as to strengthen them to ensure their quality of living and the access to all their rights. Therefore, a social intervention protocol is designed for people with these kinds of disabilities and/or their relatives, focused, primarily, on the
information and orientation about their autonomy rights. In this work of systematization of the assistance practice, four big groups were identified inside this collective, that activate, at the same time, four different informative itineraries that are developed in this entry.
