Needs assessment research in nine European regions: a summary.

Abstract

Chapter 6, "Needs assessment research in nine European regions: a summary", presents the aggregated findings from the Enablin+ project's research concerning the support needs of children and youth with multiple and complex disabilities, alongside the needs of their caregivers. The study encompassed nine distinct European regions, aiming to map both existing resources and critical challenges within current support systems. The summary focuses on highlighting regional gaps and patterns in these systems, particularly underscoring the necessity for innovative intervention models and specialized training to effectively facilitate the participation and social inclusion of these young people.
