Aġenzija Sapport proudly presents the national conference My Life: Development of a National Framework for Lifelong Individual Support Plans for Persons with Disabilities, bringing together local and international experts to discuss the development and implementation of Individualised Support Plans (ISPs) for persons with disabilities.
