What Centro de Inclusão e Assistência a Pessoas com Necessidades Especiais does

CIASPE (Centro de Inclusão e Assistência a Pessoas com Necessidades Especiais) is a Brazilian nonprofit civil society organization (Organização da Sociedade Civil) headquartered in Indaiatuba, São Paulo, founded on June 22, 2003. It operates as a direct-service social inclusion provider for people with disabilities across the full lifecycle — from infants through adults — delivering five interconnected programs: Inclusão sem Barreiras (school and social inclusion for children and adolescents), Inclusão Social (autonomy workshops for adolescents and adults), TEAbraça (autism spectrum services), Inclusão no Mundo do Trabalho (vocational inclusion and job coaching), and Residência Inclusiva (24/7 adapted residential care for adults without family support). All services are delivered at the organization's own approximately 2,000 m² headquarters facility, completed in 2013 on land received via a municipal comodato in 2009, and are provided free of charge to beneficiaries.

The organization currently serves more than 150 active beneficiaries with a paid staff of just 5 employees, and over its 20+ year history has served over 500 people with disabilities, impacted approximately 2,000 people including family members and caregivers, and recorded roughly 13,200 total services delivered. It draws on a community-led go-to-market model reaching beneficiaries through municipal referrals (CMDCA), school and healthcare networks, family word-of-mouth, and direct community engagement.

CIASPE's revenue model is a nonprofit mix of three streams: government funding through multiple active SEDS-PRC public-grant term agreements with the municipal government of Indaiatuba (PRC-2025-00338, PRC-2024-00056, PRC-2024-00059, PRC-202400164), tax-deductible donations channeled through the IR Solidário program (individuals up to 6% of income tax, corporations up to 1%), and corporate partnerships with seven named local and multinational firms (Grupo Balila, Lofts, SEW-Eurodrive, CG Propaganda, Group Solutions, Dominium, Fundação Blickle). The organization operates exclusively within Indaiatuba and does not pursue AI, digital products, or scaling beyond its single-municipality service area.

• Fundação Pestalozzi: Fundação Pestalozzi is a long-established Brazilian disability organization providing special education, vocational training, and social inclusion for people with intellectual disabilities.
