Stichting Integratie Gehandicapten (SIG)
“Vormingsdienst SIG vzw wil de maatschappelijke integratie van personen met een handicap bevorderen. Personen met een handicap zien wij als mensen van wie de stoornissen of beperkingen een belemmering zijn om zich vlot in de maatschappij te integreren. Dat is een ruime opvatting. Wij bedoelen zowel personen met een mentale, sensorische, motorische of meervoudige handicap als personen met ontwikkelingsstoornissen of leermoeilijkheden, stotteraars, afasie-patiënten, enz. Onder maatschappelijke integratie verstaan wij dat personen met een handicap recht hebben op een gelijkwaardige plaats in de maatschappij met behoud van hun eigen identiteit. Integratie is bovendien een proces dat inspanningen vraagt van zowel de persoon met een handicap als van zijn omgeving. Wij richten ons dan ook op beide partijen.”
