An accessible environment is the creation of conditions for integration into the public life of people with disabilities. This is an integrated approach to the arrangement and implementation of a barrier-free environment, with the help of which disabled people will quickly adapt to society and feel happier.
The program Accessible Environment for the Disabled is designed for all groups of the population with limited mobility. This includes wheelchair users, the visually impaired, and the hearing impaired.
