The goal of the project was to open a Center for social rehabilitation and integration of people with intellectual difficulties, which would offer a wide choice of social services – social and legal consultations; professional training and advice on professional realization; development and implementation of individual programmes for social inclusion of people with disabilities. The project activities included: renovation of a building provided by the Municipality of Pazardjik, furnishing of the premises and training of the Centre personnel.

After the renovation of the first floor of the building a speech therapy room, a rehabilitation room, a labour therapy room and space for social activities started functioning. All premises have been furnished with necessary equipment and training facilities. The rehabilitation room was equipped with a mechanical velometer, a cross-simulator, a wall bar and other rehabilitation equipment. The labour therapy room has been equipped with two sewing machines. The Centre also offers computer training.

The services provided by the Centre for social rehabilitation and integration are used daily by 24 young people with intellectual difficulties and their families.
