Geneva: 440 Young Adults with Disabilities Lack Care Solutions, Average 10-Year Wait
In Geneva, 440 young adults with disabilities are without support arrangements after finishing specialized schooling, according to an opinion piece published July 24, 2026 in Le Temps. The average waiting time for appropriate residential care reaches 10 years. At their 20th birthday—sometimes mid-school year—these young people lose their educators and familiar structure overnight. Funding lasting solutions would cost CHF 100 million annually. The opinion is signed by the co-chairs of Cerebral Geneva.
