Question 39705 — people with disabilities

Summary

Mr. Gaël Le Bohec questions the Secretary of State to the Prime Minister, responsible for people with disabilities, on the inclusion of students with disabilities in ordinary settings, particularly in rural communities. The distribution of roles and skills between public authorities is clear. For primary school children in particular, the department takes care of school transport for students with disabilities and opens their rights through departmental centers for disabled people; support for children in class is provided by national education, and therefore by the State, and their care during meal times and after-school time is the responsibility of the municipality. If all public authorities must be able to contribute, at their level of intervention, to the collective effort in favor of fellow citizens in situations of handicap, it is clear that there are certain limits specific to each institution and that not all of them have sufficient financial room for maneuver. For example, the Brittany Regional Health Agency noted that the Ille-et-Vilaine department is currently missing 748 places in medical-educational institutes (IME), 946 places in therapeutic, educational and pedagogical institutes (ITEP) and 503 places in special education and home care services (SESSAD). The distortions of resources are also glaring at the municipal level, in particular to the detriment of small rural municipalities. For example, for a small town like that of Saint-Péran (in Ille-et-Vilaine), which has 420 inhabitants, the cost of extracurricular support for two hours per day for a primary school student is particularly high: 4,608 annual euros. To this amount must be added 1,900 euros per year for financing the municipal social action center (CCAS) and 15,000 euros per year for overall participation in the operation of schools. Consequently, the sole cost of after-school support for a single child for only two hours per day represents practically 30% of the sums allocated by the municipality for the CCAS and the schools. Certainly, the Fund family allowance can sometimes provide assistance, but the system is not sustainable. While no one should absolve themselves of their responsibilities, it is important that the State ensures a system that is sustainable and understandable for municipalities which do not have sufficient financial room for maneuver to fulfill their obligations. The inclusion of children with disabilities in an ordinary environment, today established as an obvious principle, does not could come up against financial and technical obstacles for local authorities. The place and attention given to fellow citizens with disabilities is a societal choice that calls for national responses. Also, he would like to know the measures that the Government is considering so that all children with disabilities can benefit from the same quality of care, regardless of their place of residence. residence.
