EPR Habilitation and Rehabilitation Tasfkorce 1st meeting

* This EPR meeting EPR members only.

Through this Taskforce, EPR aims to create a structured and collaborative space where its members, together with external experts, can jointly explore how the right to habilitation and rehabilitation under Article 26 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) is understood, interpreted and implemented in practice across different national contexts in Europe.

This is the first of a series of three online meetings that will take place in Q3 and Q4 2026. The outcomes of the discussions will be integrated in a series of key messages EPR Secretariat will put together, and which will be presented at the EPR Public Affairs Event in December 2026.

At this first meeting, EPR members will learn more about the content of Article 26 of the UN CRPD and its interpretation, according to the 2019 thematic study on Article 26 published by the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).

More specifically, this meeting will aim at:

• Discussing the right to habilitation and rehabilitation with UN experts and EPR members.
• Exchanging in a small group of EPR members on aligning services to persons with disabilities with UNCRPD Article 26;
• Developing recommendations for approaches, actions, policies that foster the right to habilitation and rehabilitation of persons with disabilities.
