The simplified guide of rights for people with disabilities

The "Practical Guide - Rights of people with disabilities in Portugal" gathers relevant information for people with disabilities and for those who live with someone in a situation of permanent or temporary disability. 

The document, published by Instituto Nacional para a Reabilitação, IP [National Institute for Rehabilitation], is also available in the Practical Guides section of ePortugal, on Rights of people with disabilities page.

It aims to promote autonomy and inclusion of people with disabilities and provides information on social benefits, employment support measures and vocational training and social and tax benefits. 

It also serves as clarification on correct terminology to adopt, contributing to support people with disabilities in the implementation of their rights and in signalling discrimination practices on grounds of disability.
