Thanks to the functioning of MSPDiON, the perception of therapy among disabled and healthy(their families) people has changed. Over 22 years of activity of the Association in the manner significantly affected the image of a disabled person in the local community. Among others thanks to the Association's activity, our city and its institutions have become more friendly to people with disabilities or even more widely perceived as "others". Since 2012, MSPDiON is an accredited EVS organization as part of the Youth in Action program and now Erasmus + program. Over the years, the philosophy of MSPDiON has also evolved. The effect of this state of affairs is to go beyond the rigid framework of widely understood therapy until recently.
