SESSD APF

What SESSD APF does

SESSD Liévin APF 62 is a French nonprofit medical-social service affiliated with the national Association des Paralysés de France (APF) network. It provides home-based specialized education and care to children, adolescents, and young adults (covering the 0–20 age range) with motor disabilities across the Liévin, Saint-Omer, and Saint-Pol-sur-Ternoise catchment areas in Pas-de-Calais.

The service operates through a multidisciplinary team of approximately 45 staff — including physicians, specialized therapists (psychomotor, occupational, speech), educators, social workers, and psychologists — delivering individualized care plans in users' homes and via collective activities (theatre, sports, dance, cycling, cooking). The service was founded in 2008 and inaugurated in 2011.

Its business model is non-commercial: funding flows from French Sécurité Sociale through ARS-set SESSD per-day tariffs, with referrals routed via the Maison Départementale des Personnes Handicapées (MDPH). There are no disclosed paying customers, pricing tiers, or alternative revenue streams; the unit economics are determined by public tariff schedules and the volume of authorized user placements rather than by market pricing.
