CREAI Ile de France

What CREAI Ile de France does

CREAI Ile de France (Centre Régional d'Etudes, d'Actions et d'Informations) is a non-profit association under French law 1901, established in 1964 and headquartered in Paris. It operates as the regional observatory and resource center for the Ile-de-France social and medico-social sector, serving vulnerable populations including children and adults with disabilities, minors and adults under protective measures, excluded citizens, and dependent or fragile elderly persons. The organization functions as a service of CEDIAS-Musée social and is part of the national ANCREAI network coordinating all regional CREAI entities across France.

Its core offerings span three product lines: (1) professional training programs (Formations du CREAI, the national START program for neurodevelopmental disorder professionals, and specialized trainings such as 'Groupe de parole vie intime' and 'Vieillissement et Handicap'), (2) regional studies and observation (Études et Observations, including the SCATED research on autism), and (3) resource center activity through INTIMAGIR (intimate, affective, and sexual life for people with disabilities). Underlying technology is not proprietary — the organization relies on its website (www.creai-idf.fr) for outreach, the Assoconnect platform for event registration, and conventional Qualiopi-certified training delivery at partner venues.

The business model combines three recurring revenue streams: public subsidies from the Direction de l'Action Sociale as part of regional social policy infrastructure, annual membership fees (cotisations) from medico-social establishments and associations, and fee-for-service income from paid studies, training, and consulting services rendered to members and public institutions. Training prices disclosed are €1,150 for a 5-day program (START) and €2,200 per person for a 6-day intimacy and sexual life program, with OPCO professional development fund financing available. Customer segments include medico-social establishments (IME, SESSAD, MAS, SAVS, FAM), healthcare and social-care professionals, ARS and DDASS public administrations, and people with disabilities and their representative organizations.

Broad incumbents

• APF France Handicap: Major French disability advocacy and service organisation. While much larger and broader in scope, it is thematically comparable to CREAI IDF as a national operator convening disability-sector actors, families, and public authorities.
• ANCREAI (Association Nationale des CREAI): National head organisation coordinating all regional CREAI offices including CREAI Ile-de-France. Provides network coordination, national conferences, and methodological support, making it the natural broad-incumbent comparison for any regional CREAI.
• UNAPEI: National federation of French associations representing parents and friends of people with intellectual disabilities. A broader-incumbent peer — overlapping stakeholder base (disability establishments, families, public authorities) but operating as a federated advocacy body rather than a regional observatory/training center.
