In this submission, we will provide a brief overview on the commitments that the EC made in the Disability Strategy to improve the lives of persons with disabilities, then discuss what the UN CRPD Committee recommended to the EU in order to improve the situation in the relevant areas. Furthermore, this submission summarizes the data we gathered from our membership on
the seven areas of the Strategy that are most relevant for them. We would like to hereby thank to the large number of self-advocates and family members who filled out our online questionnaire.
