Holidays represent an essential moment of sharing and rejuvenation for all families, including those with children living with a disability.

This article explores the various available aids, as well as the initiatives that make stays more inclusive and accessible.

Presentation of holiday departure aids

To enable families to go on holiday with a child with a disability, CAF provides Family Holiday Assistance (AVF). This scheme offers concrete financial support for a one-week stay, or seven nights, in adapted centers. The AVF can be used throughout the year, from February 15 to December 31, thus giving families more flexibility to organize their trip.

The Bridges Network and its adapted solutions

The Bridges Network, certified by VACAF, is an initiative particularly beneficial for families with a child with a disability. By offering adapted stays, it allows families to benefit from a secure and pleasant environment. The affiliated holiday centers are trained to best welcome children with disabilities, ensuring peaceful and enriching holidays. Thanks to this collaboration, it is possible to combine the aids from CAF and those offered by the Bridges Network, making holidays even more accessible.

Financial aids and recourse to other schemes

In addition to the AVF, CAF also provides other types of financial aid. Families can turn to the Departmental Houses for Disabled People (MDPH) to benefit from the Disability Child Education Allowance (AEEH) or the Disability Compensation Benefit (PCH). These benefits can help finance holidays, thus alleviating the cost of stays.

Use of VACAF vouchers and holiday vouchers

Families can also take advantage of VACAF vouchers that facilitate access to holidays. These vouchers are particularly valuable for families with modest incomes. They help reduce the cost of accommodations in VACAF-certified holiday centers. Additionally, beneficiaries of the Disabled Adult Allowance (AAH) have the option to use holiday vouchers for their stay, thus increasing their financing options.

Actions for inclusive and accessible holidays

It is essential that holidays be a moment of conviviality and sharing, regardless of the disability situation. That is why CAF and other organizations implement actions aimed at raising awareness among reception structures about the specific needs of disabled individuals. These initiatives ensure optimal reception conditions and allow for adapted holidays, where every family member can fully thrive.
