History

The association was founded in 1986 by parents of children with a disability and teachers of a special school. At that time children with severe disabilities in Austria were not allowed to get education within the school system. They had to live in pschiatric institutions (only with medical care) or at home (without support for them and the parents).Chance B started to realize the right to education for all in schools and developed step by step high quality services supporting people during their whole life.
