The Institute for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, I.P. (IDiPD, I.P.) provides the updated edition of the Practical Guide - Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Portugal, an essential information, guidance and support tool that brings together, in a single document, practical content on rights, benefits and responses in the different areas of life, proving essential for persons with disabilities, families, technicians and all people who are interested in the subject.

In the message accompanying the publication, the Secretary of State for Social Action and Inclusion, Clara Marques Mendes, underlines the importance of access to clear, understandable and accessible information as a fundamental condition for the full exercise of rights and for the effective inclusion of persons with disabilities.

Produced in 2019 with the contribution of several public administration entities, within their respective areas of competence, the Guide aims to contribute to the affirmation of citizenship and the promotion of equal opportunities, combating stereotypes and situations of discrimination, through the systematization of information in a single consultation tool and consists of five parts:

1. General information on cross-cutting rights and tools for their development;
2. rights and guidelines for action at various stages of life;
3. Social protection, social responses and tax benefits;
4. topics related to housing, mobility and social participation;
5. Useful contacts and services.

Its reading does not dispense with detailed consultation on the topics.
