need of care were present in Austria temporarily or on an ongoing basis in 2015. So far, the only criticism of this facility is that emergency plans for protecting persons with disabilities which are required in humanitarian emergencies pursuant to Article 11 of UN CRPD have still not been drawn up.  Emergency plans for refugees with disabilities which are required pursuant to the UN CRPD have not yet been drawn up. 2.4.1. Positive observations Commission 4 visited a facility in Vienna which offers a day structure for persons with the highest levels of care and nursing allowance (levels 6 and 7). At this facility, daily assistance and basic stimulation are designated “working on yourself”. Support is given for every independent activity that can be accomplished and for every initiated action that functions as a response or results in mutual interaction. Supported communication also plays a major role. Thanks to this approach, even apparently completely inactive individuals can be encouraged to engage in activities involving play, curiosity and exploration. Numerous expeditions are organised, including activities such as boat trips or visits to the public aquarium. The commission admired the staff’s professional, supportive approach to the clients, the resources tailored to clients’ needs, and the wide range of assistance plans, which were implemented in an individualised way. As part of the basic stimulation plan, the goal is to create an environment which helps persons with serious disabilities to experience successful development. Best practice 89
