This public policy seeks to respond to the need human beings have for an optimal development in every area. This responds, mainly, to the intention of including people with disabilities from birth to adult life, having a greater and better impact in society. In 2017, the city of Leon, Guanajuato, had a total of 48,642 people with disabilities; that is why it is very important to continue developing strategies that may drive inclusion of people with disabilities.

According to the legal framework of the rights of people with disabilities and inclusion, the objectives of the public policy are: • creation of free access spaces in the city; • fostering the economy of people with disabilities by means of labor and educational integration; • prevention and catering for the medical needs of people with disabilities; • opening of spaces for social and cultural inclusion.

Education and training
It has been established from the following basic principles: Health Inclusion: there is a program which permits people with disabilities to access and meet the needs of medical care, through different services such as rehabilitation and/or medical care from specialists (psychiatrist, ophthalmologist, rehabilitation physician, audiology, psychological care, etc.). Social Inclusion: for the benefit of people with disabilities, they receive a disability card which gives them different benefits such as discounts in public transport, private transport, pharmacies, recreational areas and sports areas, among others. Labor inclusion: currently, there is a skills assessment center, VALPAR, which permits people with disabilities to enter the work environment and obtain a better financial income regarding the assessment of their skills. Mobility: currently, the city of Leon is known as the first municipality in the country to acquire and develop an Inclusive Urban Transport program, which enables citizens with disability to travel to different areas of the city free of charge and with the necessary adaptations respecting their autonomy.
The DIF Leon acknowledges human beings develop in different areas that when fulfilled, generate an impact on their quality of life; that is why it is important to respond to each of the needs people with disabilities have. Therefore, the public policy promotes the approach of inclusion from different areas: health, mobility, social, work and education. Innovation takes place through comprehensive and multidisciplinary care of people with disabilities through the acquisition of technical tools such as Valpar Assessment Center, the processing and printing of disability cards and the Inclusive Urban Transport (TUI).
Corporation for the Inclusion of People with Visual Disability and Deafblind People (CIDEVI). Mexican Clinic of Autism and Development Disorders (CLIMA).
Nowadays, the DIF Leon seeks to integrate and generate a greater participation of different bodies aimed at inclusion: the DIF works with people with disabilities, both centralized and decentralized municipal bodies, centers of multiple care and in the private sector by participating with nationally and internationally recognized companies.
Currently, the DIF Leon has agreements with different government bodies with the sole purpose of strengthening the public policy; the DIF is the lead manager and leads the development of each important sector in inclusion. Nowadays, there is the coordination of Social Inclusion under the Directorate of Care for Vulnerable Groups.
Local goverment
Until now, the following services have been provided: Medical care in rehabilitation: a total of 27,397 people of any age from 2016 to 2018. Proceeding for the Disability Card: for 1,590 beneficiaries. On the matter of Labor Inclusion and the Valpar Skills Assessment Center there is a record of: 1,004 people assessed and 257 people work included between 2016-2018. Said information is obtained from a monthly and annually registry which seeks transparency and constant improvement. While generating a public policy which responds in a comprehensive manner to the needs of any vulnerable group of society, there is a greater impact on demand, as well as the care services provided to the citizens. On acquiring the module of cards’ issuing, there was an increase in demand and knowledge with regards to our Valpar Skills Assessment Center. This caused an impact on seeking and finding employment for people with disabilities. However, paying more attention to the demand results in greater benefit to users and thus strengthens and has a positive impact on citizens, therefore responding to the real objective of the public policy.
Currently, each one of the programs has a general registry regarding care and follow-up given to each of the people with disabilities who look for some kind of service: • Registry of people with disabilities going through the procedure of requesting a disability card. • Work inclusions: signature of inclusive company and name of the candidate. • Annual registry of people with disabilities cared for at the Valpar Skills Assessment Center. • Monthly Reports State DIF.
