“Steps for ELA” challenge from 20 to 26 November

ELA is renewing its connected solidarity challenge to mark European Week for the Employment of People with Disabilities (EWPED) 2023.

The challenge of access to employment for people with disabilities

Leukodystrophies are neurodegenerative diseases that gradually destroy the myelin (the nerve sheath) of the nervous system, leading to severe disabilities in both children and adults. The European Leukodystrophy Association (ELA) provides information and support, and helps fund projects to compensate for the disability (travel aids, financial compensation for reduced activity, etc.).

How can you access employment without the necessary adaptations such as :
– mobility aids (vehicle, wheelchair),
– workstation adjustments (working hours, ergonomics),
– or financial compensation for reduced activity?

Let’s all take steps for ELA!

ELA is renewing its online solidarity challenge “Steps for ELA!” to raise public awareness of the challenges of access to employment for people with disabilities.
