Only the following disabilities may be considered for eligibility purposes, namely the inability to walk a distance of 400 m on level ground, the inability to climb a 35 cm high step with support or the inability to descending one without support, the inability to complete an entire journey using the usual public transport services, the inability to orient oneself in time or space, the inability to control situations or behaviors that could be detrimental to their own safety or that of others and the inability to communicate verbally or by gesture. However, this incapacity alone cannot be taken into account for the purposes of admission.
