Municipality of Heist-op-den-Berg
- Organizes some tourist walks accessible to wheelchairs.
- Twice a year, organizes a sporty G-3 day for people with a disability during the Easter holidays and the summer holidays. We tailor the offer as closely as possible to the persons who are registered. In addition, there is of course also the pleasure experience as an end in itself.
- Organizes the accessible culture project. The sick, the mentally vulnerable, people with disabilities, people in poverty or people without a network can attend a number of selected performances at half the price through accessible culture. They are accompanied by volunteers so they don't have to go alone.
- Provide audio description or sign language interpreter if feasible.
- Organizes with the 'free companion' card that people can bring a companion to a performance in the Cultural Center free of charge. This card is issued by NMBS and is for people who cannot use public transport independently.
- Organizes a trip in collaboration with the GAPH (municipal advisory board for people with disabilities) that is accessible to wheelchair users.
- Organizes an individual trajectory for people with disabilities with an adapted examination programme. These students do sit together with other students when it comes to group lessons.
- Organizes an inclusive playground. Children with disabilities are welcome if the operation can bear this and in consultation with the parents. Trial days are done and the child receives tailor-made guidance where possible. A quiet room has been provided where it is possible for children with a disability (and other children) to relax. In addition, there is a room where it is possible to have nurses come to care for children with specific needs.
